Is Brasso good to clean the exhaust tips of a 360 tubi?

Just wanted to get some of the staining out of the tips of my tubi from soot...I used some automotive chrome polish, but I just need something a little more strong to clean it. Will this Brasso stuff work and is it OK to use? The last time I used this stuff was over 20 years ago when rebuilding a Victrola (crank record player for those in the age of ipods that wonder what that is)- I used it on all the polished metal with good effect...

Also, what should I use for the top visable parts of the tubi exhaust itself (the parts exposed when you open the engine lid)? Figured I'd try to clean the tips first- it may be a diffent product is recommended for each area...

I was using either Mequires or Mother's...I didn't try it a second or third time as I just didn't have time. What about putting this stuff on the exhaust- what happens when the exhaust heats up- will it stink for a while or anything while it burns off or does that not happen (the question is regarding either the Brasso or Mequires/Mother's products..) Not really an issue if I just do the tips, but more of an issue if I try to polish up the actual body of the exhaust in the motor compartment (say the main part, where the tubi says "360")

 

My brother in law just gave me a can of Noxon to try, which seems similar to the brasso and bar keeper's friend products. I think it will work on the 4 exhaust tips, but I'm not sure if this stuff can be used on the muffler itself due to the extreme heat generated. I sent an e-mail to Tubi's website in Italy to see if they have any recommendations- who knows if I'll get a response...either way, I'll try the Noxon on the tips this coming weekend.

Awesome information guys....I think I'll try to pick up some of that Blue Magic and some of the degreaser this weekend!

Thanks

I'm not so anal I want to get all the pipes just yet....I'll start with the main canister and see how that goes. I wish I had a challenge grill so people behind me could enjoy the exhaust shine too A Challenge grill is my list of things to buy, although it may have to wait until next year due to a depleted self-imposed car budget- ha!

 

Regarding the exhuast outlets, I was only going to clean the first inch or so- the inside of the cylinder that kind of faces outward- I wasn't going to go as far in as the holes (although cleaning the first several inches of that section would look great too!

Tubi sent me an e-mail back when I asked what to use to clean the exhaust- the person said they use a stainless steel polishing paste, and did not offer any name or product. So, the blue magic it will be for me to clean the cannister and as much of the pipes I can reach/get to easily (with the arm & hammer stuff to clean it off after applying as I still don't know if the heat would do anything if I just polish it with the blue magic)
