Barkeepers Friend . Mix that into a fairly thick paste and slather it on , it will remove Tar spots and any built up crust , it will not polish it or anything but it works a treat on my Titanium Scorpion Street Extreme . Leave it on for about half an hour , you`ll know when you get the mixture right as it will do all the work for you , don`t be stingy with it but also don`t go overboard . Hope this helps .

And before you ask .... Asda , about £2

Carb/Brake cleaner?? No idea if it'd have an effect on titanium but seems to do the job on everything else

I used it many times without ill effect

It'll strip almost anything off the Ti pipes but it's hella expensive to use if, like me, you have two full sized pipes to clean!!!

BRAKE CLEANER!... Tis cheap and does the job. Tar spots need a bit of elbow grease but do come off.

Don't use abrasives like Brasso etc unless you want to polish it, if you want to keep it brushed then use a degreaseant/brake cleaner, soft cloth and elbow grease!
