Oxidation/Discoloration M Perf Exhaust Tips??

Hey all,

Im about to purchase some used Carbon M Perf Exhaust Tips from an M3 owner and he sent me photos of them. On the inside part of the metal tips (not the outside area with the "///M" is laser etched) there is some kind of white ish oxidation.. is this common? he said the car was sitting for a while in the shop before they totaled it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? and if its common on exhaust tips?

I would try using one of these polishing cones with a decent metal cleaner/protectant.

This is a good product I have used with success also.

Thank you!

Ill look into this. My detailer suggested 0000 steel wool and some mothers metal polish. he would finish it off with high heat wax/sealant.
