Default Polishing Borla Stinger tips
I usually keep the tips clean and all of carbon buildup, but what can I do to shine up the inner portion that is "chamfered" that you can see? I have the quad, round tip Stinger system.

Thanks,
Ron

I have used Never Dull or Blue Magic. Any metal polish will work just fine.

Try some Mother's Mag polish. Good stuff.

Is there any way to get the inner portion to a mirror like, almost chrome finish?

I doubt it. I've got the B&B PRT'S with the same polished finish. I also use Mother's mag polish and keep the outside real shiny. But I've had them over a year and as much as I try I can't keep the inside as shiny.
