    Best way to clean exhaust tips?

    I seem to remember there might have been ideas on here before but can't seem to find them doing a google search etc. Regardless, I think it's been awhile on this disussion. But given the age and road grime, what is the best way to get the exhaust tips looking super shiny again? Is steel whool too abrasive to use to get the gunk off? What do you guys use and what do you suggest?
