Default Dirty Titanium Tips...never come clean.

Am I the only one...or why can't I get those tips clean? I have tried to clean them numerouse times and they have imbeded dull stains that won't come out? Is it the nature of the metal? They are starting to look pretty bad, and I have had no success.

Try Blue Magic metal polish. I had some stains on mine and tryed all kinds of metal polish and that was the only one that worked.
