How to clean 535I Xdrive exhaust?

Hey guys, just got mine 535iXdrive (2 weeks)
Wondering how do I clean exhaust tip? Any good ideas would appreciate it.

I bought certified 535 so yes exhaust could use good cleaning (I think dealer tried to clean it)

Metal polish if they're chrome and #0000 steel wool should do the trick

Neverdull works well on the chrome tips.

We used it for the brass when I was in the Navy. We weren't supposed to have it due to its high volatility.

You'll never find anything as easy and effective as P21S 15300P Polishing Soap. You can use it to clean and maintain with every car wash. Best part is that it doesn't eat at your skin like most metal polishes. Just soak the provided applicator in water, cover it with the soap, and apply.
