Default What would you recommend to polish up a stainless steel exhaust ?

I just want to clean the exhaust up, it's real dirty...anyone had good results with a particular product ?

I've heard vinegar and water work well.

Default Vinegar and water will clean somethings very nicely, however for your car I would recommend a metal

polish. Mother's makes one (Mag polish they call it) in a little tub. You can get it at AutoZone for about $5. It works pretty well, depending on how **** you are about your car. If you really want to get into it, check out the detailing forum. There are few threads on this topic. Also, Vinegar will take out water spots if there are any, but AFAIK, it won't really polish anything.

Default Vote for Mothers Metal Polish. Works well for the tips.

May want to use a little fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool if you are shining unfinished surfaces.
