One of our titanium wand, the one we used daily had gotten dark from hot water on the wand head, near the jets, what can you use to clean those or are they permanent ?

I just use ammonia based glass cleaner, but if it is really bad, you might have to get some metal polish.

If you are just trying to clean up the dark area try baking powder and a old tooth brush.

Does the Sheila Shine work on titanium? That stuff is great on stainless, but contains an oil and I haven't had any luck using SS cleaners on titanium. It just makes them foggy looking.

There is a metal polish that the Jewelry stores use on titanium watches, but I wouldn't want to spend half the day with a buffing wheel and polish to pretty up a wand.

Try the ammonia glass cleaner and scrub well......

I just called my buddy who is into show cars and he tells me that you should use metal polish (meguiers auto) creme on a 220 grit sandpaper.

Scrub in small circles until you the get the desired shine. I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow myself as my Ti wand looks pretty rough compared to my SS tools.
