I actually polished the tips last night in the garage and also tried doing the muffler can. I was just using a micro-fiber towel by hand and it did make a difference. I am going to get my drill and a power ball and i think it will shine very nice. I have the Borla Touring system.

Very nice, I wasn't sure if it would come out shinny enough... You have convinced me to have a try at it.

I painted mine with silver heat paint and it looks great. I just didn't like the weld marks on all the connections and it would have been too hard to buff all of them out by hand.
Although come to think of it I could have - I had them sitting in the garage for two months before I got my car delivered.
