I was just wondering if there was any way the cme could be cleaned... iv tried everything but the edge just stays black... its probably just stained over the years but they look so much better when they spotless any help would be great thanks

 

I took a drimmel tool with a sanding wheel and knocked the carbon build up off then took 600 1000 1200 1500 grit sand paper and polished it back turned out pretty good

 

Steelwool, scotch pad, wet sand paper,You really cant hurt em! Ill use any of the three real quick before a cruise. If taking my time? 30 minutes max !I'll wet sand with 600 then 1000 grit, then hand polish with some SEMI CROME paste. MAN!!!Talk about chrome look !!Bad *** **** here!! Semi chrome! Ever use it guys???Try it ,**** ,If your not satisfied with it LOL!!Ill buy it from you LOL!!

 

This is the main thing holding me back from getting a CME. They always look dirty.

 

Acetone works wonders!

 

Repolishing them works great. Some tips weren't properly polished to begin with so they get really dirty and it sticks. Steel wool works also. Just don't let them get that dirty. Polish them and give them a little wipe when you get home, or they start getting some dirt on them.

 

Get some 1500-2000 grit sandpaper and some Mother's mag polish...once they are clean (and the sandpaper will do it just fine), keep after them. Mine rarely if ever look dirty, but I make a point of keeping them clean at all times.
