I use Gords Aluminum Polish (http://www.gordsaluminumpolish.com/) on mine. But I dont know how bad yours are.

Use Castrol Super Clean first. Spray it on, wait 2 minutes and rinse. Then polish them using you favorite product.

Agreed--I just used it on my tips--they look better than when I took them out of the box! :yup:

yeah, my tips are pretty trashed...is it worth trying to take them off and soaking them or something? might be a lot easier to get to all the little nitty-gritty things....thanks for all the input!

I've been using eagle one never dull on my wheels and tips for about 9 months, and i love it.

I agree with the Eagle One-Never Dull-it can clean up some corroded stuff but it takes some elbow grease

If they are really crappy you can use a wheel brush on them.

Powerball works wonders too. That thing is a gift from God.

I also use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish!
I have the GMMG oval tips, and mothers works excellent.

they have infomercials for flitz on some channels, but you can get it at places that sell grills (i.e. home depot, lowes hardware, ace hardware, etc.)
