Default What Do You Use To Polish Your Exhaust?

Ive been kind of curious lately. What do you use to polish your mufflers? Ive been noticing lately that one side is kind of yellowing out than the other. They are also covered in a think layer of dust. Water spots here and there. After a nice car wash the spots are still there. If you do polish your exhaust, what are you using?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like alot of people recommended Mothers Metal Polish. I'll try that out and see how it goes. Im also temped to buy the mini powerball and see if it can attach to my dremmel. The mufflers will be so spiffy!

Hollywood's Metal Polish gets my vote. I've used this to polish rims, bumpers, exhaust tips, and mufflers for my customers' last car show.

Mother's works great but probably any metal polish will do the job.
