Cleaning how? Just cosmetically, or super seriously to remove blemishes?

First option, tianium wont rust, so normal soapy water should do. You can even remove tough grime / chain lube etc with something like Autoglym degreaser spray.

Second option, most jewellers use acids (mainly citric acid as its relatively easy to get hold of and use) to bring up a high level finish. Wouldn't advise this unless you knew what you were doing.

if you've got anything on them that won't come off with soapy water, meguairs clay bar will get it off

its like a big lump of clay that you rub over it, good for paintwork as well

Akaprovic (spelling ?) recommend using WD40 to clean the titanium pipes.

Ive recently started using Parafin to clean of all the chain gunk on my stainless steel leo vinci cans.
Works a treat
