Default Powerball or what?

Let me start off by admitting my extreme laziness. I'm looking for something to polish my Ti exhaust tips but it should be motorized unless it's some miracle product you just wipe on with no rubbing. I'd like your opinions on polishes as well as methods if ya don't mind.

Also I see the space between the tips and the body is kind of tight so how do I get in there without marring the paint?

Thanks!

My Corsas are polished on the inside so I use aluminum wheel cleaner + a wheel brush to clean them + carwash soap to clean them, then the powerball to polish the inside of the tips. I do the outsides as much as I can w/ the ball then by hand. Adams #1 and #2 are some of the most effective, and easiest to use, metal polishes I've ever dealt with. If you have serious corrosion start with a wadding polish that is sort of like cotton candy in a tub... I know Eagle 1 used to make one that was readily available.

I used



on my Z28 rims and they were pitted. I had about four hours in each rim. I have not tried it on Titian however I think it would be just as effective. Will require some work unless you can figure out how to attached it to you power ball..

NEVR-DULL is the original "magic" wadding polish for cleaning and polishing all metals. Nothing to shake. Nothing to spill. Modern method for care of brass, aluminum, nickel, pewter, silver, copper, steel, chromium, zinc and gold. Use on musical instruments and marine hardware. Removes rust and tar from motorcycle and car chrome. Safe. Non-poisonous. Will not scratch the most delicate surface. Superior and more economical than liquid, paste or powder polishes. Size: 5 ounces.
