German Applicator Pads are awesome for cleaning up stainless parts with metal polishes - the density of the foam really helps the polishing action.

Hmm, might be a little harsh, I'd maybe try the Fine Cut Blackfire Metal Polish or even Megs NXT as a starting point. I know Titanium is rock hard, but it's also got a delicate finish which can be easily buggered - I know this from my mountain biking days!

Yes, I find it has more cut and feels more like a proper metal polish. The only downside is that it doesn't protect like the NXT does, as it's only a polish, not a one step polish/protyectant - on my exhaust tip I use the Blackfire then seal it with Werkstatt Prime Strong, which seems to work really well. Next month we'll also be introducing the heavy cut and finishing versions (for show car bling) too.

Bit skint after buying poilishes, waxes, glazes, PC's, etc etc. I'm just gonna skimp and use the brasso for now. Gonna shine it up tomorrow. Is there anything i can use as some kind of sealant/protective layer, on the exhaust, so it makes easier cleaning in the future?????

Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh contains some sealant that helps, but it only last 2-3 weeks at a time. I use Jeffs Werkstatt Prime Strong, but it's more expensive; however, it lasts much longer.
