Thankyou! I guess I will make a little DIY. Not very hard at all, took about 5 minutes on each tip.

Nevr-dull oxidizes... It creates the green build-up and looks terrible if you dont regularly shine it. I use this crap in the navy and it is NO BUENO! Mothers Mag/Aluminum Polish is perfect for this! I suggest people clean them with a quick detailer (NO WAX) first. Then let them dry, Leave the mothers on for about 30 minutes, then use a microfiber rag and really polish it deep. then wipe it down softly with a clean microfiber or a screen cloth (for laptop screens)

For anyone doing this and having problems with mothers... You have to clean the metal surface first... Then let the polish sit for a little bit, let it turn white. Then polish it deep. Its not a two second job but Sloober, those look preeeety!
