i tried using some metal polish/cleaner on the titanium and it kinda worked but it left a strange residue on it that i didnt really like. I usually just wipe it down with a wet towel and it looks good as new.

i use Blue Magic. Its a liquid metal polish and as long as you dont let it dry it will work fine.

Never dull works wonders! They sell it at any auto store, it comes in a silver tin can. Makes my exhaust looks brand new.
