Well The SLP tips are filthy!
Its time for a good cleaning. What is a good product to use when cleaning them?

I don't know if mine are stock or what but I got some steel wool and cleaned them. Then I washed them with soap and water, then mothers aluminum and mag polish. They look better but not the best they could.

This is before



This is after, but I have worked with them more and they look better than this.

Thanks I think my dad has some of that in the garage I'll give it a try later today. Hopefully it will restore the luster and shine that those tips used to have when i first got them.

i didn't clean mine for over a year. so first i clean them with orange cleaner. then hit them with Brasso. if i wasn't so lazy and would take the tips off and hit them with brasso and a polisher. they would look better than they did new.

and Brasso can be bought at just about any supermarket in the cleaning section.
