Boys and girls, what do you use to clean the ti Akra tips with? I've used WD-40 to wipe away the grime and dirt...but I still see some tiny black spots on the tips....I want to ask before I use something abrasive...

I use WD40 also. I just let it sit for 2-3 hrs.

First simply wash with soap and water during the car wash, including the inside of the tips. Apply WD-40 on a dry towel, then apply to tips. Just make sure all the exhaust "grime" has been removed by the soap before the WD-40. This has worked for me over thousands of miles.
