Default best polish for tips

i've got the mac dual exhaust cat back on my 6er and have had it on for around 4 months now. what is the best polish/cleaner for them? i've just been washing them down and wiping them dry with my microfiber. i almost picked up the "never dull" stuff in the little silver tin can but it did not necesarily list stainless steel. is that good for it or is there something better that i can pick up over the counter.

Never dull will work although it might take a bit longer. For SS semichrome or Blitz is good. I use Mothers mag an aluminum polish on mine. It works great and is easy to find.

The one I use is out of a jar. It's a solid polish that you rub your cloth on and then rub on the exhaust tips. I'll look at it next time I'm home and let you know.

No, you misunderstood. I have polished stainless steel tips that are only 3-4 months old. I'm trying to keep them nice and shiny, not trying to bring shine back to stock tailpipes that have darkened over the years. But blitz or semichrome should still work? Are they over the counter products? Do you use the mothers on stainless steel?
