So, since it was a nice day, I figured I would play with my mufflers and exhaust tips, and actually compare products for once. May as well contribute something to the subject, though I think Joe has me beat. 
So, here is what I started with:

I used Bug & Tar Remover, and then washed with the Multi-Piece Wheel Wash.


Then I clayed, which removed some more dirt and tar, but not everything. And then I used the Nxt Metal Polish on the right side, and Hot Rims on the left. Both were wiped down with the Quick Wheel Detailer when done to remove stubborn polish.
Here is the Hot Rims:


And here is the Nxt:


And then side by side:

With the sun sort of interfering, I pulled forward a bit:

Conclusions:
1. They look pretty close, which is good. Didnt want to have odd looking mufflers...
2. The Nxt is a lot creamier, which seemed to give a longer work time, and easier to spread. Seemed to have to go back to the Hot Rims can quite a lot before I had enough to really work around the big areas. Not sure if I reallly used more or not, but felt like I might have.
3. I belive the Hot Rims is supposed to be stronger, but the Nxt seemed to pull more black off. Maybe that side was dirtier, or maybe I worked it more with it being creamier.
4. Not sure which I will buy again....
