Default Exhaust Detailing

I just pulled off my Invidia exhaust that I had on my car for about a year.
I was shocked how "yellowish" the metal was from the heat cycles.

What products have you used to remove this yellow tint from the metal and restore it to clean chrome?

I tried Mothers chrome polish but it did nothing.

Thanks!

I might buy the Optimum polish, but shipping is more than the product cost. Not very effective marketing. I'll look locally. Here's the shipping quote I was given:
Shipping: AZ 85013 US
- FedEx Ground Home Delivery ($9.49)
- FedEx Express Saver ($20.21)
- FedEx 2 Day ($24.52)
- FedEx Standard Overnight ($53.36)

And the product is only $8.99

Neverdull always works for me.....Use it whenever the exhaust isn't as shiny as expected. When I got my used SE single from another member....used Neverdull to make it shine and remove some stuff from the canister. Looks brand new! Neverdull then polish with a non abrasive cloth = Sexiness!
