I'm pretty sure he just scrubbed the inside haha. But if you did get a little water in there it would evaporate pretty quickly, especially for us FL peeps.

I keep my tips super clean, I've had 2 people that thought my '10 was a '13 just because the tips were immaculate...funny how little things make such a difference.
I have a kit I bought (for my C6) that attaches to the drill to buff the inside of the tips....great results...I'll post a pic later.

I use the Meguiars ball that attaches to your drill, it fits perfectly and does the job instantly. I have used it on the inner barrels of the rims on my Volvo as well, but it gets too dirty, too fast doing that. Freaking soft brakes!!!

I spray Invisible Glass on the exhaust tips before I use BKF, turns out even better than just using BKF.
