Little tip after you`ve used Autosol(which is ace)polish up with some car wax & keeps the shine longer.

I really Rate Autosol to with WireWool, Megs metal polish is ok to, on stainless manifolds if you want to get them super shiny i suggest a dremel with wirewool attachments and Autosol or Britemax from I4Detailing.

mights sound stupid but this is good at keeping the tip clean once it's nice and shiney, takes road salt and mess of very easy and quickly as well as soot/carbon deposits, it's cheaper from you local shop though
