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.

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.
