    I did mine and made a post with pics. I used the sand paper method from high grit to lower, then finished with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. Lasts about a month and you have to do it all over. Cheap though if you are on a budget like this poor college student

    Yup, I clean my tips with a wire wheel attachment for my drill. I did that once a month with my 97 GT till I got mufflers with stainless steel rolled edge tips. Now with my 98 I had to dremel them followed with the wire wheel. They get dirty so quick that I can't wait to get new exhaust and tips.

    I painted mine after I cleaned them up with a wire wheel also. 5 or so coats. Still clean as this. Just wipe them up when I wash my car.
