pretty much any metal polish will work...
always try a small amount of any new product on a hidden area (underneath for example).
wenol would be one of the first on my list- nevr dull, flitz, luster and mothers also make good ones.

btw, you really do need to try it in a small location first- especially to see how it effects the blueing.
you can just use a quick detailer or just car shampoo for most cleaning.
only use polish if you have a problem you are trying to fix that the shampoo or detailers spray wont get..

when i had my dual amuse Ti, i was told not put any metal polish on titanium and to this day have not found a suitable cleaning of titanium other than soap and water
Check with the manufacturer. With Titanium I believe it depends how the metal is finished.

autosol might work... again, be sure to test a small area under the pipes.
i would be very careful about the blueing.
i know that harley riders often use windex on their chrome- which i then did on the chrome on my show jeep. good for cleaning, but not really a polish.
aquilaeagle- what problem are you trying to fix?
if its just cleaning, i would not use a metal polish- but if you have stains or other issues then a polish might be appropriate.

Thanks guys.
It is on my Amuse Dual Ti - I do wash them up and apply Z6/Z8 too, and they come clean. but I have a yellowing down the tips, further down than the blue, if you know what i mean, it goes further on one tip than the other. No biggie, but it annoys me

Well i just read this on a site about Ti Jewelery - which wanabe posted on the anodising ti thread 
To clean: Use rubbing alcohol, window cleaner, or non-moisturizing soap and water and a soft cloth to gently wipe away dulling dirt and oils.
Avoid metal polishes or scrubbing soaps, because these contain abrasives which may scrub away the sub-micron thick color layer.
