I do, and I hate seeing crappy tips on vehicles. To me it just screams that the owner doesn't care enough about their exhaust. I was going crazy this winter, I'm so busy with school I have all I can do just to keep the truck clean. I finally took my Roush tips off my kit and re-polished them.

Some before pics (one washed, the other not)

I used a combination of a SS polishing kit with different tips and emery bars for varying finishes. Borla's exhaust polish I used after and I can't say how much I love it. Been using it for about 2 years or so and it's really great stuff. As my polishing skills develop more, I should have my future exhaust tips going on the truck shortly scratch free constantly

Afters

I have about 1.5 hours into them and yes, the insides are polished too, no cheating

 

No embedding, what's up with this?!?

 

Looks like new.

 

Looks great--I use Mother's Chrome polish on my tips. It shines them up nicely.

 

Impressive... Soon as it warms up I am giving my truck a good overhaul.. needs a good handwash/polish on everything. Been a long winter!

 

I do the same thing except I use a cotton sock & polish....just like a shoe shine- takes about 1-2 minutes!

 

Very nice polish job. I keep my truck overall pretty spotless in the warm months. I go crazy with the detailing and always have it looking pristine. Sometime this week I will be getting an XR1 with 4" stainless tips put on, can't wait for that.

 

I transitioned from taking care of the tips, to not caring to after they have been coated in tar and debris.

 

Nice job John....

the way I polish them....metal polish and 0000 steel wool....clean up with a micro fibre towel.....reapply metal polish and work it with a micro fibre towel again....buff+clean up with a micro fibre towel again.....

 

Thanks guys! Bronze wool works real well.

I'm removing scratches doing this... Polish alone does not do that.

 

I sure do heres the link

I am about to get new 4" stainless tips and have them 45'd behind the tires. I understand that this will make them get dirty much faster and more often BUT it's the best look in my opinion. Will I be able to keep them shined up like new every time?

 

I did... I had my exhaust 45'd for 40k+ miles. You just need to stay on top of them.

 

Well done pockets!

 

thanks! I must say I did not do the inside haha props for that but I do use a spoke brush to scrub when I was to get the inside just not polished
