Default chrome exhaust tips discolored

Recently purchased a pre-own srt vert from out of state dealer (would not do that again)...anyway we've fixed the IC water cooler problem and now it's on to cosmetic stuff...the chrome exhaust is discolored/pitted...the finish of the chrome is messed up and nothing seems to take it off...don't know what previous owner did to it? Maybe scrubbed it with a Brillo pad or some strong chemical/road salt?

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? Could I try to get it replaced under factory warranty for discoloration of the chrome? Or just put polish on it and live with the dull/pitted surface?

Thanks.

Other than trying some Eagle One NevrDull wadding polish - I'm not sure what to tell you.

I'll second the recommendation for NevrDull. Bought a can at my local Ace Hardware. Inside is a rolled-up soft rag that smells like petroleum; you tear off a small piece and use it to clean up the exhaust. It worked pretty darn well for me. The next time I went to clean them all I used was a paper towel and the residue seemed to come right off so I don't think that you have to use it everytime you clean but I guess it wouldn't hurt.
