Either that or drive over here to the East Coast and I'll show how well it works.
There was a thread on tip cleaning/polishing about three-four years ago that got me to try it.
My entire RB exhaust looks as good as the day I put the on.

I'll stand by my "English Custom Hot Enviroment Polish".
http://www.englishcustompolishing.co...hotchrome.html
Of course we all know the best way is to not let them get dirty in the first place. I probably wipe mine down at least twice a week and sometimes more, with just a clean fiber towel. This takes no more than one minute.
Then I use the above polish about every two months. That takes really no lomger than about ten minutes.

Hahah Dammit you beat me too it, I was about to post the exact same thing.
But this stuff is VERY ABRASIVE, do not use this but once a month. I used it on my old exhaust about twice every 2-3 weeks and eventually it started to eat away my finish lol, so be careful

Kanes wife is the hottness.
Oh, and since you bumped it. I bought this used Turbo XS since I sold my HKS and i didn't take any before pics but it was pretty nasty. I used good old Brasso and ultra fine steel wool to remove the crud and them meguilers metal polish to shine things up.

Great Stuff!
One recommendation from my years of cleaning would be to use Oven Cleaner, it works the best. Mr. Muscle, spray it on any Stainless steel metal and let it sit about 5 minutes and spray it off perfect every time. I wouldn’t use steel wool i would use a green SOS pad or hogs hair pad they wont scratch the finish for less time polishing.
