Polishing Exhaust Tips
 
What does everyone use to polish their stainless exhaust tips? I was gonna use a dremel tool with a little polisher on it. All ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Cloth with Simichrome, Wenol, or Top Brite. Buff well and remove with a microfiber cloth. Mine came out incredible.

Simichrome a Die Grinder and a terry cloth buffing ball.
Simichrome is sold at any Harley shop.

Use toilet bowl cleaner after using the boat. Cleans the soot right off easliy. End result is almost as good as polishing.

GoJo hand cleaner cleans them right up. Mine look like crap at the end of the day and so when I wash the boat down just put the Gojo in my hand and rub it around the tips and they look great again.

You want something easy? Honest to god, use the BioKleen Hull Kleener. There is literally no effort. Spray on, and soft brush off and done.

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.

Lime-A-Way & Magic Eraser is the best thing I have found so far. I've tried it all, including all the stuff mentioned above. Nothing works better, faster or easier than Lime-A-Way & a Magic Eraser.
