Default Cleaning Stainless Exhaust Tips

I'm looking for an easy way to get the water film off my exhaust tips. I used some stainless cleaner which did remove about half of the build up but there is still a fair amount of film still on them. Anyone got a miricle product??

Thanks

I learned a little secret recently, believe it or not, Sno-Bol toilet cleaner works miracles on stainless. Use caution when working with the product, because its main active ingredient is hydrochloric acid, so don't leave it on too long. Works best on a terry rag, simple wipe on, buff off, rinse with water application. You might want to wear gloves as it is caustic. You can't beat it for $3.00 a bottle! Made the original tips on my '78 Cigarette Mistress look beautiful.
