i just wash it with soap and water when i wash the car. If its really dirty down there you can use that orange clearner stuff.

Coca Cola! saw it on mythbusters, worked better than the leading chrome cleaner.
I scrub some on there and then soak a rag with it and wrap it around the tip, when I'm done with the rest of my cleaning duties I take it off and give it aquick rub and a rinse.
If you get nasty carbon or road tar on there I reccomend some sort of Wheel Cleaner.

As Wes stated above - don't be afraid to wetsand. All of my exhausts looked like glass when I finished with them. I would normally wetsand 3 cuts up to 1000 grit and follow with Mothers polish. Looked amazing...

that would suck for those with burnt titanium tips i would think. :mfrown:
i just use soap and water to rinse, mothers metal polish and a terry cloth after its dry.
