Cleaning & polishing exhaust tips
I tried cleaning and polishing my OEM exhaust tips the other day on my 08 IS350 but found it to be really hard and was unable to get it clean, they've got this kind of dingy like "film" that I just cant clean off. They also have this debris or something that seems to be stuck on to them that I'm assuming melted on?
Do you guys have any tips or suggestions that I could use to get them clean again?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Use Never Dull or a similar cotton wad metal polish. This removes the exhaust soot and discoloration off my stainless tips real well. How hard and time consuming it will be depends somewhat on how long it has been since they were last cleaned/polished.

I've had very good luck using English Custom Metal Polish/Restorer on oxidized metals. The new optimum metal polish is also proving to be a very solid performer for these types of tasks!

I used a old cotton wad type metal polish too and it cleaned the tough caked on stuff stuff very well with a little work, some stuff I had to chip off with hard edged object.
