Best product to clean/polish stainless steel exhaust?
Its really a very daunting task to clean/polish all chrome and stainless steel parts of a car. Does anyone have any tips for this? My exhaust is always covered with dirt and dust. I cleaned and polished the exhaust last week and about 2 days later it looked like it had before. Curious to know what products you guys use to clean/polish you stainless steel exhaust.
I am planning to hit Autobarn this weekend to find out good stuff.
i use Zephyr Pro-40 for a metal/alloy cleaner and then coat it with Boss(not sure where to get it though)since it works as a protecting wax!

I would just clean it where ppl can see it lol...stainless shouldn't really rust...I like the power ball type products w/ whatever cleaner you like it takes out alot of the elbow grease

For the exhaust tips I use Never Dull.....seems like one can of that will last you darn near a lift time......I've been using the same can for 14 years now and it's still 3/4 full.

^^^^Yep, Nevr-Dull....can't use up a whole can by yourself, gotta share it to find the bottom. And, it makes aluminum look like chrome. Use to only find it in Harley shops, now it's everwhere.

Brasso from good old Wally World, you can use Mr. Clean sponges, you can use a good wax even a spray and wipe to keep it clean longer and make it easier to clean.
