I have Corsa Pro Tips also.. I also have used NevrDull.. Its a LOT of work... and you end up with black hands... The Purple melts the soot... and it rinses away...
As far as a difference between Polishing and Cleaning.. I agree to an extent... But we are talking about Polished Stainless. Once Polished they stay that way. Unless something else scratches them.
They are stainless.. They should stay shiny...It's not like aluminum that pits..or tarnishes...
My tips look as good as they did 5 years ago...Next time I wash I will try to do a before and after...
Oh and NO WORK...
Keep Zep or any purple cleaner away from your paint! It will eat right through the clear coat and base coat. I would not use a spray bottle. If you must use a cleaner this strong, wipe it on with a soft cloth, rinse with water and then dry with soft cloth ASAP.
I forgot to mention that.... Also eats through Fingertips and skin...
It can soften paint and clear coat if not removed promptly...
By the way... I find it odd my post was moved to the Car Car Section from C6 General but the Post selling the Stainless Steel Polishing kit remains....
I agree with your question about why your post was moved; there was another similar exhaust tip cleaning suggestion posted again today and right away Pipedreams comes back with his .02 about what he is selling. That post has been moved also. I have not purchased any of his items and have no personal issues with him other than the fact whether is it polishing tips, splash guards, or anything else he is involved with it turns from a suggestion or question from someone to a sales pitch on his behalf. I know he is a forum vendor and he is peddling his wares, but sometimes it gets a little much...

I dont find NevrDull hard work at all...then again, I treat my tips about once a week. I dont get black hands at all either....I use disposble vinyl gloves when using it...I am **** too and surprised you would use that wading with bare hands

A word of caution here about mixing various cleaning agents together. Some mixtures can create dangerous and even deadly gases. A friend of mine once mixed two cleaning agents together that created a gas that landed him in the hospital in the ICU for 3 days. He lost 20% of his lung capacity, permanantly!
Excellent and accurate advice. I would be very nervous about mixing any cleaners as some results could even be worse than this.
I used Ed's, Pipedreams, Polish Kit and here is before and after. Judge for yourself. You can plainly see the difference. Took me about 30 minutes for the entire project. I have never polished anything before. Thanks again Ed, as usual, a great kit.
