Default Exhaust Chrome Tip

Does anyone know what products to use to polish/clean the chrome tips on the exhaust tailpipes?

Mine are discolored and dirty. Maybe even some rust.

If the only way to make them look great again is to replace them, what does that cost? Can someone post a link off of the Sewell site?

Thanks!

Go to your local auto parts store and buy this:

Works great at restoring metal. See how that turns out and then see if you want to replace them.

Flitz metal polish works great.

Any chrome polish at an auto parts store will work. It's easy to apply, wipe off and should be under $10.

This reminds me, I should do something about my Dad's Cayenne, the exhausts are brown now. Which I can't stand.
