Can anyone recommend any products or methods to getting that squeaky clean and shiny exhaust tip.

technically so does polish


1500grit is fine, unless they do 2000... either way, that, and a little autosol will do the trick

You can get 2000 and finer. It's easy with a polishing head on a Dremel, use it on my inlet.

Does that stuff cut through surface rust?
My tip cleaned up nicely with some 1600 and loob. Just that surface rust/crud
