Polish tips
I used my dremel tool... I installed a polish wheel and used some standard metal polish... I applied the polish with my hands and worked it in with the polish wheel... got it quite wet and full of the polish... I then took an old tee shirt cut it into small strips and rapped it around the polish wheel to buff it out after doing that multiple times over an hour later I had shiny tips.... Hope that helped...

I went with the never-dull (I found an old can compliments of the USN many years ago) works like a champ and that unique arouma brought back some wierd memories of me polishing brass in boot camp.
(us squids never had a lot of use for really shiney stuff after boot camp)
thanks for the TIPS...... T I P S, get it

I used Mother's on my Ti because I already had some and it worked well after I got the gunk off from the first owner not cleaning them in 3 years. They still turn colors (blue and bronze) really fast but it's a snap to get them back to shiney with that stuff. The hardest part is trying not to get any on your rear facia.

my polish of choice is mothers creme polish or simichrome.
i use a soft 100% cotton undershirt, apply a glob of the goop, then wrap the t-shirt around the pipe and go back and forth really fast just like a shoeshine on a nice leather shoe. works like a charm (my tips could not possibly get any shinier), and is very easy.
the tips get this royal treatment every few months. in the interim, i spray zaino gloss enhancer on there after washing. keeps 'em lookin' really good.
