theres a metal cleaner called autosol it works great!
comes in a tube, just need a rag...rub it into the metal then use a clean part of the rag to take it off.

Put on some CLR and let it sit then use a rag to scrape it off. If no luck you can always buy some polished exhaust tips and add it to try to cover it up.

Just go and buy some SS/Chrome sh*t at CDN Tire and start scrubbing. You won't hurt anything.

WOW...I am sorry for my earlier comment. It didn't look as bad as it seems. I can't answer your question concerning new ones. I have a Stassis aftermarket exhaust with SS tips that are very easy to clean so I made the assumption that yours would be just as easy.

Good luck in locating new ones...Keep us posted.

Did you ever get those tips cleaned and what did you do? Others may benefit from your experience.
