Default What is the best way to clean stainless steel?

I have Ultimate Racing's stainless steel exhaust system, and ever since I've gotten it I always washed it down with regular car wash soap and water. But there is something all over the mufflers and tips that I can't get off. It's dark and it just won't scrub off. What is best to use for this?

i would try a metal cleaner like wenol, luster lace or maybe thor...
i like thor - and got it from my wife who uses the stuff on the kitchen appliances (the stainless ones).
as with any product, do a very small area first- if you like the results then move on to the rest... if not, change products.

i also use zaino on my exhaust after its clean- prob doesnt really last too long, but sure gets a nice shine!!

I use AutoGlym Metal Polish - seems to work quite well on my HKS Hi Power...




Good luck....!
