Best way to remove soot from exhaust tips?
 
I used to use iron cut and it worked great (don't breathe the fumes!) but it's no longer available. I tried the sonax deep wheel cleaner and it didn't work very well.

Suggestions?

Metal polish?

WD -40 and a bug sponge worked on mine; bought it second hand and it was a bit dirty/carbon caked.

I have used

Eagle One's "Never-Dull Wadding" Polish, Works great

So i'm going to do a side by side comparison. The guys on the Adams forums swear by "Barkeeper's Friend" cleaning powder. I miss toxic/possibly dangerous Iron Cut from Korea. Soak tips in that for 5 minutes and the soot just wiped off.

eagle one with the cotton ball in the can works great for me!

SOS pads work great too but be careful with the elbow grease.

Detailers Domain sells it. They are a forum supporter too. Check them out.
