I forgot my dealers name, but i would go with a certified ebay dealer that gets alot of ratings and reviews. (That's what I did) I have f-sport exaust and got a rep diffuser. Fitment was pretty bad, but it's better now after heating it for awhile and a couple screws.

I used chemical guys grime reaper. Lightly sand any contaminate that may be stuck because it got melted on, then once its all degreased, you use a metal polish of your choice and it looks brand new again.

Be gentle. Its only to loosen the contaminate while the spray is on.

if you're looking to have something to help the shine stay longer, i apply alcohol then Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish and some cleaner wax from wal mart. Keeps my tips shine for a good 3 weeks on average. Idk how your tips will look since mines are stainless steel. But hey, if you're up for it give it a shot.
