Try Rejex. Great for keeping exhaust tips clean.

I applied GTechniq C5 to the tips once and ever since then, the carbon buildup just wipes off with a cloth or pressure wash.

I find with the tips separated from the actual exhaust system, build up is extremely minimal.

Simichrome, german made, works extremely well cleaning exhaust tips. If it's a large bother you can powder coat or purchase black tips.

Cheers,
