The chrome tip on my muffler is starting to get little rust spots. Is there to clean that up? I also have some spare mufflers I want to sell but before I do I would like to make the tips look better. So what do you use?

Well, the muffler tips in the first photo are toast - no polishing in the world will bring them back. Second one has possibilites, though.

I frequently "harp" about Simichrome. Bikers have used it forever because it is only mildly abrasive & leaves a very nicely polished appearance. At one point, years ago, I used it on my headlight motors & they looked like they were chromed when I was finished. Fortunately I let the pot metal go back to it's original "tiger stripe" finish - but it took years! Stuff works great & no one will ever get me to change. Worth a try.
