Exhaust

My exhaust is not incredibly rusty, but it has dis-coloured somewhat, it is a slight brown tint basically.
How do of this to make it shiny again and how do I keep it that way as best I can.

Cheers

Hi

Think it is stainless steel. You probably can get it polished but not sure how much success you will have by hand.

All the best

Yes it is the pipes, not the can.

I thought unless I have a powered tool it wont be easy, oh well.
If I was doing it by hand, what’s the best kit to use??

) that do a metal polish that is really good

"Autosol" works wonders for polishing metal. Really brings out the shine.

The change colour with age as they are right where all the git and grime is.

Mine are shiny but still dull in colour. I think most of the shiny ones you see are from an aftermarket half system

Stainless pipes will discolour with heat and theres not much that can be done really. I think its pretty!

I think he is reffering to the pipes just next to the right peg hanger
