They just 'pull' off.. However you may need a hammer to gently knock them from behind

[RubyBlueZ4MC]

Good job. I totally need to do this..it's on my never ending list of things to do..

How come your OCD didn't compel you to do the insides too

Me too. I bought some wire wool to clean the inners...

Autosol

Do u get the Anodised Aluminium Polish or the normal Aluminium Polish? Can u use a wrong one that will cause damage?

 

[PerryGunn]

Tips have to be clean and shiny or the OCD kicks in

 

[inkey$]

Autosol standard. Wash outside and buff dry. Autosol liberally on both exterior and interior of pipes. Lots of clean rag. Buff outers shiny clean. Scrub inners not forgetting under the top (if you haven't removed completely). Buff inners.

Stand back.

Admire.

Well, I thought it was bad-enough keeping my RS tips like Perry's then I went and bought something with 4 of the bleeding things to look after...and they're enclosed in a diffuser! My OCD is driving me to all sorts of methods to keep them clean, but an old toothbrush and Autosol seems my best avenue...

Before anything is said...the insides are coated black and therefore cannot be cleaned to shiny-shiny...same as the RS tips!
