Hello all I have agency power dual exhaust tips on my 08 997tt and they have gotten pretty dirty over the months. What product do you guys recommend to use to clean them so I can get them shiny again.

Autosol metal polish is by far the best product, also as a rubbing compound it's the best!

Flitz metal polish (P21S metal polishing soap if they are not too dirty) with a microfiber cloth. If the carbon is heavy enough, use 0-0-0-0 steel wool with the metal polish. Buff with microfiber.

I have had good luck with Griots metal polish on their 3" white polish pads. After each bath the car gets I run the pad with a dab of polish around the tips and they are like new again.

Go to your local Harley dealer and get Harley Glaze or their metal polish. Both work great. Those guys are fanatic about clean bikes!

I use Jorgens Garage billet and chrome polish. Very effective, low effort, produces excellent results and as usual, quite cost effective as well.
