Default Cleaning Exhuast tips - - Getting Rusty

The inside of my chrome Hooker exhaust tips are getting pretty damned rusty. What is the best way to clean them? Aren't they aluminum? If so, could I polish the inside?

I'd say, just spray paint the insides of the exhaust tips with a good quality high heat flat black paint.

Then just keep the outsides all shiney with a good polish!

I never thought about that. Sounds easy enough. I might give it a shot unless someone else has any other suggestions.
