Fellas here is a suggestion if you want to clean up your exhaust and make it look new.

I bought this stuff of Autobarn for like 30 bucks is the best metal polish / protecting.

All you need is half hour this "PURPLE" stuff and maybe super fine sand papers if your exhaust is really bad and it will come up with mirror finish.

I did same thing with hood arm holder thingy and it came up awesome like new, here are some pick wit before and after

Good luck

I just used an old sponge and the remains of the water left when i've washed the car. Do it every couple of washes with my filthy sponge and it comes up great. Especially if you have an aftermarket exhaust sticking out the back, shiny shiny. Probably stay clean longer if you do polish it up though if you are keen.

I've used Brasso for years, works very well. Bit like clay blocking, gets rid of the buildup crap.

I've heard good reports about that Purple stuff and keep meaning to try it.

But I've got some Blitz from Super Cheap that does a pretty amazing job too. It's a cleaner rather than a polish and will remove discolouration and tarnish from stainless, wipe on.. wait.. wipe off. Worked very well.

It is a mild acid though so don't use it on any aluminium parts or they will become dulled and need to be polished to return the shine.

Yeah Blitz is a caustic cleaner so if you get any on the paint work it will be destroyed so be VERY careful!
