1) Soak a rag with all-wheel cleaner, then wrap the rag around the tips, then walk away for a bit.
2) Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads. That'* all I need to say.
3) Follow up with Wenol metal polish. I think that stuff is WAY better than Mothers or Megs cleaners.

to break up the real gritty stuff I have used a really worn green scratchy pad and wd40 it breaks the stuff up really well but you cant push to hard or youll scratch but follow that with some polish and see what ya think

Polished my Tips Today
Jay:
This thread reminded me that I had to polish my tips. On the 04 Bonny the ovals just pull off after you loosen up the clamp bolt. Nice design but I need a tip that sets off the rest of the car. Need to save up for this mod.
The first picture shows the tips after a winter of use along with the polishing compound and the three polishing wheels that I use. For the most part all you see on the car is the lip of the tips. I use 3 polishing wheels. First I use a sisal wheel followed up with a denim wheel. The final shine is with a hard cotton wheel.
Here is an out of focus picture of my buffing machine. I think it is older than I am. The cost was free so I continue to use it.
Here is the final picture. A much needed improvement. From start to finish the project took just over an hour.
