They are stainless steel and just about any light abrasive metal polish will work and yes, Brasso will work. I prefer Wenol metal polish, available online.

Nevr-Dull magic wadding polish.

I've been using it on my MR2's exhaust tips for years...

Yes, Brasso works very well! Mine were black with soot when I first got it. A few minutes with Brasso cleaned them right up!

I just got a vette where the tips had NEVER been cleaned. A chrome metal polish with fine steel wool was needed but worked well.

To prevent scuffing up the chrome use #0000 steel wool.
