Cleaning the Cowbells
#4
These cowbells are made from cast aluminum.
I suspect yours are corroded and pitted.
Wire wheel or brush to take off the loose stuff and fine sandpaper and a buffing wheel to polish up the end.
If they are lightly dirty with soot, then laquer thinner works well.......just don't get any on your paint.

I use a low speed buffer wheel with aluminum polish. Then a put a few coats of Zaino on the tips. Usually lasts for 6 months. My tips are removable and I do not know if your tips come off easily.

Only the end lip face is supposed to be shiney.
I like the Bells. That'* why I kept them even though I replaced the entire stock exhaust. Good and solid and easy to clean up.
Chrome tips look great at first......but after a couple of years, ...unless they are stainless steel.
