Chrome Tips rusting

Has anybody had this problem? I only got them put on 3 months ago and they are already getting pock marks of rust. Is there anything I can do to stop it?

Yes, chrome pits if you don't take care of it. Pick up some chrome polish and go over them with it, if the rust isn't that bad it will come off. I polish my chrome tips weekly to avoid this.

I also Zaino my tips every so often to try and keep they protected (well as much as I can) from rust causing elements. Bottom line is....if you drive your car often chrome exhaust tips are going to be hard to keep perfect.

Steel wool and then chrome polish. Zaino is a great finish too.
