Cleaning Ti Exhaust
I have a Injen true dual that is looking a little bad latley. What would you recomend to clean the burnt tips? I herd if I use the wrong cleaner that I will distort the blue/purple burnt tip look. Anyone?

I use Eagle One's metal polish on my Fujitsubo Ti tips. It's the cleaner that comes in a silver canister. The polish is actually saturated into cotton-like material in the canister. Works wonders! It's the only thing I've found that works on Ti.

The Fuji tips are plain Ti, which may be the reason VO recommended the eagle one.
Abrasive sovents should not be used on any of the "burnt" sections, or you risk damaging the finish.

So I should only do soapy water for the burnt tips and eagle one for the rest?

I used vinegar mixed with water (50/50) for the first time yesterday to clean the burnt tip of my Amuse. It works wonder on hard water spots.

I've never thought of cleaning the tip with anything other than soap and water. Works good so far.
