No real remedy besides cleaning every week and using autosol or similar to keep the finish good

I just meant what products people use to clean them should have made it more clear!

Britemax final shine is good as a maintanace cleaner. Won't mark the metal over time like some of the harsher polishes and leaves some layer of protection behind also.

I replaced my tips with stainless tubing and a little bit of JB WELD.  Kept clean with 0000 wire wool lasts forever (almost)

Britemax metal twins are excellent.

Also elbow grease.

Mothers metal polish, as I fund autosol to be a bit heavy on the metal but it's still a great product.
