Exhaust tip cleaner - Catless Carbon build up

Does anyone have killer exhaust tip cleaner? I am fully catless (catless dp's + r44 catless titanium cat back exhaust). Tips are fully black now due to the increased carbon build up. Any solutions to bust this grime and get them cleaned up easily?

I don't think regular cleaner will be helpful here. Need something super strong due to the lack of cats.

I would guess that an iron remover product might do well like it does with brake dust on the wheels.

Combination of bar keepers friend and tar and glue

Once clean wipe the inside with ceramic detailer then it makes it easy to keep clean

I've had great luck with this:

Even without any polishing action the chemical in it seems to do a lot of work by itself.

Not sure it's worth buying for just the one reason, but if you have considered purchasing a polishing compound at some point, then it could do 2 jobs for you perhaps.
