I was wondering what I would be able to use to clean my exhaust cause those pipes can get black. Is there any product to polish the exhaust also?
Thanks, Mark

The exhaust tips will get black soot from the air fuel ratio being rich which happens to MINIs and cannot be easily changed for the better.
I use a damp rag to just wipe off the soot about once weekly.
You can polish the metal outer parts of the exhaust with any metal polish.
I like S-100 Finish restorer http://www.superiorcarcare.net/s10007.html
3.5 oz tube for about $8.85
Available at your nearest Harley Davidson retail shop.

Another vote for Never Dull. I took Brad's advice last fall and have not been disappointed. When I use the stuff the inner exhaust tips just sparkle. I have the Magna Flow trumpets. Makes the exhaust louder . Nick

for us poor slobs in the northeast who have to deal with road salt and sand on top of the black soot, 000 grade steel wool until you get somewhere near the original metal...............then go to the never dull

Thanks for the great tip !!! I've used a lot of metal polish but without any success...it did nothing to get rid of the black stuff....Until I got some steel wool !!!...followed by some never dull, and now the Borla looks brend new
I've used the "Never Dull" and it worked OK but, still some black that seemed etched into the stainless. I tried the old Dupont 7 rubbing compound (the orange stuff) and it worked GREAT. Just a couple swipes and inside of tips looked like new. Now Never Dull will keep them looking that way.
