Cleaning MPE exhaust tips

Cleaning MPE Carbon / Titanium Tips. The tips on the left were just cleaned using a dremel and Simichrome polish. It works amazing to clean the titanium. This is just a 2 min polish job I did showing the comparison.

Simichrome Polish and a Dremel polishing wheel worked Super. No need for new MPE tips anymore !!! I Also Ceramic Coated the tips afterwards to try and prevent future discoloration. Thanks !!!!

Thanks for the pro-tip! I've got some light staining and think this will do the trick!

Are you removing the carbon portion to polish it all? What about the exhaust it self?

OP Don't forget to apply blue loctite and tighten the bolt holding them or you will be without a shiny tip or two one day
