Default Clean tips w/ pics

I know that some venders sell good products to do this. I just used what I had here. 3M Perfect 2 compound. I washed the tips then put the compound on a towl, rubbed it in then wiped off. Worked great for me. The exhaust plate was hard to get between the emblem. This first one is one side done and other not. You can tell the difference pretty noticeable. Sorry bout the pics (cell phone)



Here they are both polished along with the exhaust plate.



And heres a nice reflection picture.



Heres the nose just for good measure.



Let me know what you think? And any advice for getting the exhaust plate easier.

Yes use a Dremmel with the cone shaped cloth tip to get in the exhaust plate areas that are hard!

Yeah! Pics not so good! But you can see they are cleaned up and shinny, good shot of the one with the reflection!

Thanks,Matt
