If you don't know then hopefully our learned friends like weasel, Ucrew, X5dawg may put in 2 cents as I am keen to do this tip polish myself, but only if confirmed st/steel.
Also it appears that their are fine raised lines/ribs on the outer surface, did you have the same ??

Yup, looks the same as mine. You'll need to really take time witn the 80 grit. I would have used 50 grit but it was out of stock. This should take away the ribs/ridges. I spent about 15 mins per tip on the 80 grit. THe next steps were easier. Lay a plastic sheet over the black bumper parts. The fine metal particles would be a PITA to get off. By the time you get to 2000 grit (keep it WELL lubricated with water) you could see reflections in the metal. The metal polish will bring out the shine.
The good news it that you'll have to deal with 2 tips instead of four. GOOD LUCK
