Default Cleaning exhaust tips

Anyone have a good way to clean the plastic(?) exhaust tips? Mine have some discoloration and need to be like shiny and new.

I used mothers mag & aluminum metal polish and it brought my tips back to new. Just apply some using a microfiber towel and keep scrubbing. My tips were really bad. Now they look like new.

I wouldn't use a metal polish on a plastic surface. I use Meguiars M105 compound followed by Meguiars M205 polish, the same products I use on the paint, headlights and pretty much anywhere else on the car, including the interior to remove any oxidation or scratches.
