Default light scratch on titanium exhaust

After a car wash I found a very light scratch on the titanium exhaust, I am not sure if it can be removed by applying some of the metal polisher? any suggestion/advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

depends on how heavy your light scratch is!
you might be able to polish it out if its not too heavy-
i suggest that you test your product on the underside of the exhaust first (the part that no one will ever see)- if it does not cloud the exhaust after you remove it, then it would be a good product to try on the scratch. you will need to really work the area well- and if you can get to it with a pc, thats what i would use.

excellent suggestion..

and he like me both have the Amuse Dual R1 Ti exhaust, and metal polish use on titatium exhaust is a no no , so i'm told..

so Xplosiv be careful in your application..

jack up the rear end to see the job clearly..

The problem with most metal polish's you will find hurt some TI. If you lightly rub it on it may clean it but for a scratch you really have to rub hard and that will most likly dull the tip of your exhaust.
