Safe cleaning method for black PSE exhaust tips?
Has anyone cleaned/polished their black chrome OEM PSE exhaust tips as comes on the GTS? If so, what’s safe that won’t harm or remove the finish?

Okay, I went ahead and used an old standby, Meguire’s liquid cleaner/wax. Always a very mild cleaner and effective. It did the trick beautifully.
If anyone has additional suggestions, still love to hear them.

Avoid using abrasives and be careful even with cleaner waxes as they can have abrasives in them and scratch, too. It’s best to adopt a wiping/rubbing strategy so all your cleaning motions are the same direction (just as you would on paint) so any light scratching/marring over time will be far less noticeable. It’s best to clean really well once then seal with a quality sealant or coating. I use Optimum, FWIW. Wipe the pipes, especially the edges that get sooty, very often. Once sealed/coated this is super easy since dirt/soot doesn’t stick.

I agree on the ‘keeping them clean often’ approach too. I did that religiously for the sport tips on my previous CTT and they stayed pristine.
Thanks again for the suggestions and advice!
