The very nature of them being exhaust pipes means they won't stay clean forever,my decay ones get very sooty but clean up well.

Engine cleaner. , let it sit for a few minutes , wash off. Then 0000 grade wirewool and some Autosol metal polish and 20 minutes of graft.
Seemed to do the trick on my heavily soiled baked on pipes when I bought my GTI.

Give them a going over with 0 grade wire wool and autosol, apply a bit more and then buff. Will make future cleaning a doddle
