Well, Ti is about the best metals you can deal with with regards to corrosion. I`d say you can polish using whatever you want, don`t need to worry about removing any protective coatings or anything. How far towards the engine does the Ti go?

From my experience with Ti bicycles...you can use about anything. Is the Ti polished or the brushed/natural finish? My bike was the brushed/natural finish and I used citrus based degreasers. To blend or "repair" scratches or imperfections in the finish use steel wool (don`t use on mirror finished or polished Ti). SOS pads can also be used for cleaning and/or smoothing out scratches or nicks. Ti is almost indestructible.

Give NeverDull a try its non-abrasive. And good on exhaust residue.
