Ive bought some Autoglym Metal Polish, but because the zorst is Stainless steel, it wipes of well with just an old Microfibre at present.
Done about 800 miles since the milly went on, and still looks prestine after a good scrub.

yeah i must admit that meguires metal polysh is very good on exhaust, but you do need to clean all the dirt and residue first then apply, as it is not a cleaner more a polish, after any dirt just wipes of with no effort at all.. however i did use brasso to get the stubborn residue off that works.

A nice shiny exhaust makes a BIG difference to the back of the car!

oh yes, its all about attention to detail including the "traditionally" thought of as small, that make the difference

I use megs as well but have always thought it was a lot of work to get results.

Then i read this piece of advise above, give them a really good clean first, then use the polish, give it a final buff and hey presto.

get some 00# wire wool for the insides matey, that will do the trick.

some use this on the outside of exhausts but im not a fan of this to be honest. ive always managed to get exhausts clean without such abbrasives on the outside
