    Yeah that steel wool works well...Use the packet stuff thats soapy...same stuff they use to remove glue from windows when you have tint removed.

    if its a chrome tip just use some chrome polish on it, sometimes a toothbrush helps to get the really bad area underneath the tip.

    mine has an oily coloured stain once i get the carbon off how do you get that off.i used to work for a cleaning company and their chlorine based creams with no abrasives worked wonders with a rag.
