Mine came gold plated, altough the gold plating is now dirty. Part of the standard gold plating package. Gold plating was "hot" in the 90's.

So I looked at the tips closely, after I washed them, and cleaned them, and they still looked crappy. To cut the story short, I tried some steel wooll. This stuff is cheap, and cleans almost every metal.
Haha! It's funny you say that becaause I was thinking the same exact thing yesterday. I wasn't sure about using the steel wool becase I thought it would scratch the heck out of it, but since you've done it, I guess I can too!

I'll post some before and after pics of my '96 Q45 tips as well.
