exhaust cleaning/polishing

[lukeworx]

my exhaust is looking a little tired/old but love the sound
looking to clean it up a bit any ideas,
has few spots of surface rust on the tip nothing major but wanna see my face in it:) running a stock rear bumper on the 14 so you can see the whole
can & its looking dull/old

i must do mine too, i presume different grades of paper followed by metal polish would do it

Fine wire wool and some metal polish, great job!

halfords do a metal polish, cant think of the name, great stuff though. polished the rear box on my japspeed exhaust friday and its like new, just took the tar off first with a bit of white spirits.

my exhaust doesnt have any marks on it as such, was just dirty really and i've it done 3 times since i put it on the car and its as good today as the day i put it on the car to be honest.
