Default Forced Induction and exhaust tips

I have a little over 4k miles going catless and boost. My F.I. TDX exhast are no longer shiny. I scrubbed and scrubbed but the tips remain dull, mayhaps even grey. Anyone else have this problem? Did you try buffing it out with some polishing compound? I'm thinking I might try and buff it with some compound and a drill with cloth ball the next time I get the car up in the air.

There is a polishing compound from Eagle that will shine almost anything. I have that issue from salted roads during winter and clean it with that compound and it works great

As long as they are big and perky I don't care what color they are. Oh, you talking about exhaust tips, not teats. I got confused. Both are fun to polish!

Mother's with some "elbow grease" works great.....apply every other week to keep the "elbow grease" to a minimum.
