Default cleaning/polishing titanium.

Autosol Metal Polish works well.

NEVER use an agressive cleansing agent and / or sponge to clean your titanium exhaust. It can cause severe damage to the material and the appearance of the product! Autosol Metal Polish is what they use in many motorcycle shops to clean their exhausts. There was a thread on it in the wax and wash forum.

You might check the Mothers wax forums to see if either of their two metal polishes would work. RedChili is right about not getting too aggressive. You'll dramatically change the finish if you're not careful.
