If they are really bad use autosol metal cleaner, then just keep on top of it even with a damp tissue between washes. Can't really give advice on sealing as I've always used my method with no trouble.

there not bad but finding some of the buildup is starting to stick quite hard to the tips so want to get rid of that first then prevent it from happening again.

00grade wire wool and the Britemax metal twins will keep them looking good.

+1 for Autosol, you shouldn't need wire wool if they're not too bad, i put a little Jetseal 109 on mine now and again which helps to keep the buildup down so i only need to give them a wipe most weeks.

As odd as it sounds I also clean in the pipes as far as I can too.

+1 on autosol works a treat on mine. Need sealant though as it goes the same after a few days lol
