Default Chrome exhaust discoloration

Hi all, we have a new '04, and I put the chrome exhaust tips on. Like the look, but there is a little bit of discoloration, I assume from the heat. Any recommendations on a good chrome polish for exhaust tips? Thanks,
Mike

I was just about to order the OEM Honda Accessory "Chrome Exhaust Finishers" tomorrow. I was surprised to read your post stating that they are discoloring...

Are these the Honda accessory parts?

The only thing I can think of, of the top of my head would be Brasso, it a metal polish, typically used to clean and restore brass, but can be used on many types of metals including chrome. It fairly inexpensive ($5 or so) and can be purchased at any hardware store.

Could you possibly post a pic so that I can see the tips and where they have discolored. The center part I would be ok with, but if the outer part is yelowing or discoloring then I would think twice about ordering them myself.

I had Accord tips that I ordered from College Hills Honda, (it appears they are the same as OEM Pilot tips) and don't recall any discoloration. How about some pictures of the tips and the discoloration, because

Try Never Dull, it seems to take out the tarnish, and makes the chrome and Stainless Steel really shine.
