Default Stainless Steel Exhaust Tip Cleaning

Last year I put a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler on my PT with a Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust tip. What is the best way to clean off the blue coloring (if possible) and get back to original shine? Any help...

I too have a stainless steel exhaust tip and I wash it like it is just another piece of the car. I then use Meguiars Gold Class wax on it, and it shines up just fine, takes away all of the discoloring. I'm sure that any wax or chrome/metal sealant would work as well.

There is a product that I have seen in some chopper magazines that removes the bluing caused by heat on exhausts. If I see it again I will post but someone here probably knows what I am talking about.

My chrome cleaner/sealer will work wonders on stainless/chrome and almost any metal. Gary
