+1 - Super easy and the pipes comes out shiney. Also removes transom soot with just a quck spray and soft brush. Best $20 I've spent on a cleaning product. 1 bottle should last a few years.

If they are just crappy looking from the soot/hard water baked on to them, like they said, some "Works" brand toilet bowl cleaner, or what I like to use, "Works" brand tub/shower cleaner. Its like 2-3 bucks a spray bottle at Menards. It sprays on like windex, and works great. Also works from removing scumline and what not.
If you wanna polish them, you can go to sears and get a Rouge buffing kit for your drill. Comes with the Rouge sticks, couple different buffing wheels, for like 10 bucks. After the rouge, a good metal polish. Will look new.

+4 on vinegar...has mild acid in it and takes the minerals rite off. I wouldnt spend money on anything before you try it and I personally dont like to use anything stronger than needed. I even keep a spray bottle of it in my boat and give them a quick squirt at the sand bar.

Just tried out the SIMICHROME stuff with my dremel tool. I used the Simichrome and steel wool on the second tip. Asked the lady which one was the better looking tip. Without hesitation she said the one with the SIMICHROME and Dremel. A lot of work but turned out ok. I would rate them an 8.5 out of 10 as far as how well they turned out. I guess being 20 year old tips, they wont be a 10. lol Thanks for all of the feedback and other tricks of the trade I will try tomorrow on the other 2
