Nevr Dull. It's available in many auto part stores and online. It comes in a small can for like $6.00. You just tear off a piece from the can and wipe it on the tips. Then wipe it off with a clean rag.

I use MAAS METAL POLISH, liquid or paste to clean my tips, mufflers and pipes. Seems to work OKAY! You can buy it on line, or in the grocery or hardware store.

Your wife can use it on you wedding silver also (if she suckered you into that sort of thing).

Let's just say she hasn't noticed that I've been melting it down and regifting it in the form of jewelry for at least ten years.

Go to the auto parts store and find this Mother's "powerball" thing that attaches to the end of your drill. They make a small one that's perfect for polishing exhaust tips.

I thought I was going to have to replace my Cargraphic tips because the previous owner really neglected them. It took some polishing but that ball thingy worked wonders...

I used a stainless steel scrubby pad and a lot of elbow grease.

Mine are sort of gold/bronze stained also. I tried Never Dull and it didnt seem to help much however it is great stuff on other chrome pieces i tried it on. I will give the Mothers Powerball a try if I can find it.
