| How to Polish Stainless Exhaust??
My exhaust has some heat marks + random rust spots,
I was wondering if anyone knows what I can use to bring back the shine. I've never polished exhausts before and don't really have experience with an orbital. I don't have an orbital polisher (might be able to borrow one) but I have a drill  + some meguiars metal polish.
Just wondering if I can do something like this Used Taitec GTLW Polished (before and after pics) - NSX Prime
my exhaust currently looks kinda like this   
hoping to get it like this   
thanks!!  |

As Phil said, steel wool ( start with 000 and you may have to finish with 0000 ) and some metal polish should do it. You may want some aggressive like Autosol to clean all the grime away quickly and use the Flitz to finish with.

I used Nevr Dull ( Home Page) for my exhaust tips and it worked great but it looks like you're gonna need some steel wool to start with on yours.
