Mine usually come clean with ordinary car wash soap, a terry cloth rag, and a little elbow grease. If that doesn't do it, any metal polish—Simichrome or Flitz or NeverDull—works well.

ironically, i've always just used car wash when washing the whole car. However, that stuff gets to me almost as fast as brake dust. When i'm just trying to polish it off from time to time, i just use armor all...always seems to shine it up pretty dang nice.

+1...............this stuff is great! I bought two bottles and it going to be a very long time before I use it up, even when doing the cans on the stainless cat-back every now and then.

Never fear Peter, Jedi is here! 
Here's the link for ECP: http://www.englishcustompolishing.co...hotchrome.html
Chrome Polish and hot environment is a superb chrome polish first and foremost.
It is good at removing bluing from chrome and gold from stainless exhausts.
Excellent polish for use on any metals that have to endure extreme heat
