I only polish mine by hand with some terry cloth.

A little Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish and a clean terry cloth towel can do wonders on exhaust tips!

"Before" shot taken in the parking lot, "after" shot taken in the garage. Either that or we used the new Meguiar's Driveway Detailer*, but I'm not really supposed to talk about that product yet.




* come on, it's a joke, we are NOT working developing this product. At least not that I know of.

On my SS Borla tips, I use 0000 steel wool and a variety of metal polishes. I then put a coat of sealant on them, although it doesn't last very long.

Re: How do I get my stock exhaust tips to really shine?

maybe my eyes went to **** on me, but the angles on the edge of the tips look diff.

Re: How do I get my stock exhaust tips to really shine?

It's your eyes Zach. I think the polished tips are so darn(edited for language-Andy M.) clean that they're just reflecting the light much better.

ohh dear........

Re: How do I get my stock exhaust tips to really shine?

I can assure you it is the same tip in both pictures. That was taken at a Saturday Clinic back in January, 2008. You can read the original post about these tips at post #9 in the thread at http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21254 along with comments from the car owner in post #10. And, yes, it was all done by hand with just Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish and a terry cloth towel.
