Polishing exhaust tips
So I figured I would put up some before/after pics of exhaust tips that I recently polished. I used the following:
Blue Magic metal polish (cream)
Mothers Powerball Mini
Some paper towels to apply the polish
Microfiber to buff polish out.
I don't claim to be super experienced or a pro at this but I think this can show what can be done with a few hours and some patience. So don't be afraid to buy an old used exhaust!!

Not to disrespect your work but 2 hrs a tip and that's what you came out with. 2 hrs for both and mine looked like a mirror inside and out now it takes 5 min a piece to get them back to a nice shine with 30 min and 6 mth of build up they'll be back to mirror. As a matter of fact i'll be right back with a before and after pic. Mothers FTMFW

great job!
did you try also polishing the bottom of the muffler, and if so can u post pix?
that's one area that looks fugly to me on the 8 stock... the muffler sits so low and it turns bronze color, so when u look at the car from behind u see the bumper then this brown thing below it..
