Each time you clean them? Frequency?
In that order?

My magnaflow tips are stainless steel as most are and mine get very very dirty real quickly and the best thing I use is purple power. I spray it on let it sit for a few and then wipe it off. Works perfect

Yes, in that order. I only need to use the steel wool every couple months. Once you use that combo, you're good to go for just a soap and water rinse for a couple weeks. Then, you can re-polish as necessary, and eventually get back to the combo after a couple months once things really build up again.
