Showed my buddy today my new Raptor and he was blown away. Hes a serious truck guy and could not believe everything about our trucks. Not really familiar with Raptors. He was looking at the exhaust and mentioned that metal polish would really do a number on the tips. I came home since I had half way thought about the Ford Racing tips you can buy and started putting some Mothers metal polish on them. It takes a little works but it is INCREDIBLE how they look now. I have a silver 2012 and I like that it still looks stock but its a good idea if you want to clean up that raw steal look.

A little work but they sure look good! Kinda bad weather here today so they might not show up that great.

Damn they look nice! How often do you have to polish them?

No idea - HA. Never done it before but they look really good and I would have NEVER thought they would have cleaned up like that. They almost look like stainless steel.

That looks terrific! But I'm not so sure that the tips are stainless steel. If you put a magnet on them, the magnet will stick. Most grades of stainless steel don't behave that way. So what you may have done is polish off a thin aluminum coating to reveal bare rust-prone steel. Geeze, I hope not. But if that turns out to be true, you can knock the rust off, and paint it with a coat of high-temp primer and two coats of matt black high temp paint as I did. It's been a year and no problems.
