^^Um? wow. I just take a small wad of Nevrdull, rub it on gentle in small circles over and over, and then rub off with a polishing cloth. Shaboosh! Magic.

Maybe you're just trying too hard.

^I was serious if you guys think i'm crazy show me your best results and i'll beat you every time.

I didn't mean take a piece of sand paper to them i ment polish the metal. Look up metal polishing on google and get an idea of what you need to do. It's pretty easy once you know the steps

^ I wasn't referring to your sand paper comment. ^^ is two posts. :-D

But yes, I know metal polishing with grit paper and oil, but you really don't need to do it. Too much work and the results aren't noticeably better AND no need for that much work.

Nevrdull.

I feel like a paid advert.

I went at it with a dremel at 15000rpm, and yesterday i tried grade #0000 Steel wool and more chrome polish... Barely any improvement. Ill figure this out before i lose it.... i will buy nevrdull next time im at a store to find out.

I went online to lowes and homedepot. But I can't seem to find any sort of polish. Do they sell mothers mag and/or neverdull?

+1 for neverdull. Works great. All you need is to tear some off and use it and rub until everything is gone. Then wipe. No prewash or anything. My hand was completely black rubbing out the carbon but its all gone now.

Nevrdull is made by Eagle One. I think you can pick a tin up at Autozone. It's a little silver can.

I use NeverDull and a little elbow grease. I rub About 3-5 minutes on each tip, hehe sounds dirty. Then I leave the NeverDull residue on the tips and I take out my PowerBall, drill and mothers mag and aluminum polish to finish it off. Only take about 1 minute each tip and then wipe of the excess. NeverDull is a good cleaner but does not give you a real shine and mothers gives you a good shine but not the best cleaner. I bought one, wasnt impressed, so I bought another, wasnt impressed, had both so I used both, and it came out much better. Im sure there is a product that does both, but this is the way Im going until I run out of either.

^don't think there is a product that does both.

It depends on the material of you tips too. And they aren't aluminum which corrodes terribly. Mine came polished, so I won't need a metal polisher for probably another year.
