Stainless or aluminum polish with cheesecloth works wonders. Can remove baked on deposits with stainless bbq cleaner but apply with clorh without spraying.

Do you know if the tips are Stainless or Aluminum?

The're Stainless steel. Use super fine 000 steel whool to clean them.

Ok
i was lazy to go shopping so that night I used just Scotch bright and liquid soap and after 15 minutes it actually turns out very good. I probably can make it better later with steel wool.

I believe they can also be easily removed in the event you'd really like to polish them up and then apply a protectant. Looking good!

I didn't know that! Is there a bolt I'm not seeing somewhere?

I used some powder metal cleaner, water and a microfiber. Worked just fine.

Brasso and a microfiber towel do a great job, after a steel wool scrub! In my 4S there was one bolt holding each tip in place.
