Polishing exhaust tips

What are we using, or what is recommended for those that are rocking the AliExpress tips? Looking a little oxidized and I don’t want to use the wrong product.

My assumption is that standard wax would not hold up to the temperature of the exhaust tips, so it would have to be a high-temp tolerant sealant or polish

Maybe try bar keeper’s friend on the inside top of the tip where no one can see, just to be cautious. That stuff works wonders on lots of things! GL!

Well, they are perfectly round ... if only you had ready access to a round tool over which you could drape something ...

... say no more ...

Looking at a few pictures from AliExpress they come with that gold/bronze plating. Get some metal polish on a soft towel and gently clean it. Do it in a small area towards the inside first. Use it sparingly as Quality and durability are questionable.
