Possible to remove BURN marks from exhaust tips?

Long story short, the exhaust shop welded the tips on from inside my exhaust and now I have these circular brown burns on my exhaust tips. Is there anything I can do to remove/clean it?

Sorry for the quality of the pic, it was off my iphone

I dont think its possible without messing up the polish effect.

It'll never be perfect, but you can take most of that out by polishing the spot with a very high speed... which is how they got your tips shiny to begin with.
I would use care to not get to the edges of yout tips though, or you'll eff up your blued effect.

Don't think i can, the vendor who sold me the product is a sales rep. I got the exhaust and it was missing screws and gaskets. So I went to a shop and they welded the tips on from the inside. Is there any exhaust tips for sale out there? (Topspeed has some but it comes with muffler)

Check your receipt then talk to the shop owner, directly. Or buy a catback setup!

For the refund, wouldn't I have to pay for shipping and restocking fees? Overall thats just a waste of money because the exhaust is the X02.

About the only thing you could do with tips that have been burnt is to cover it with silver paint, at least it won't be as noticeable. Use High Heat silver paint from a spray can and apply with a small brush. Sometimes ya just gotta be creative....

^ that was the first thing I was thinking of but I just assumed there was something I can rub on and make it go away. I'll prolly try this soon and tell you how it goes.
