I bought my exhaust used and it was filthy. I used some cheap Blue Magic Liquid Metal Polish and it turned out great.

I'm sure a simple applicator would do it...and wouldn't hurt to get some microfiber towels so you dont scratch the finish..
there should be like directions or a guide with how to do it and what to use.

I just used anold rag. Pretty sure I got mine at Wal Mart. Do a search on google and u'll see plenty of places to order from. Works great on oxidation/tarnish on your headlights as well.

personally I use Nuvite G-6

It's about 50 bucks / 1/2 pound container, but it's the best. It'll shine it to a mirror. No scratches and it looks flawless. It takes out oxidation removes any discoloration and looks like a mirror when finished.
You can either apply it by hand and remove by hand or 6000 rpm buffer. I choose the buffer.
