Before I get in and drive, I use the California Duster and a clean rag to get any stuck-on artifacts. I then use that rag to wipe down my wheels and wheel wells. Lastly, I wipe the inside/outside of my exhaust tips getting one last use from the rag.
The tips stay clean and shinny, although every 3 months or so I do use just a bit of metal polish. I think almost any brand will do, since you're not really polishing the stainless steel, only removing the exhaust build-up.

Thanks, I did not start out to make a polishing kit but after months of "how did you get those tips so clean"
I decided to share the secrete
As much as people will say this or that works just as good. You will never find in any auto parts house anything that will do what my kit does 
NPP tips after a polish
Now just look what you can do with aftermarket, these are the best I have seen

I just polish by hand. Put a small amount of Blue Magic on a cloth and rub 'till the rag starts to turn black. Remove the polish and buff (by hand) with a micro fiber towel. I usually get the maxium shine by applying BM 3-4 times. Once you get the shine you want, it's fairly easy to maintain and very inexpensive. Have Fun.

I purchased and have used the product from the company listed above. They truly clean up well. I have not been able to obtain the shine that is shown in their ads.
My tips are OEM. I would enjoy getting a better shine. The product is okay though.
Merry Christmas everyone!
