Default What's the best product to use to clean up the mufflers?

Got a Corsa exhausts system recently and want to clean up the smudge marks on the mufflers. What's a good product to use to "make 'em shine?"

Eagle One Nevr-Dull found at wal-mart and auto parts stores. I purchased one canister and I have been using it for years now and I still have plenty left. You only need a rag to wipe off the residue after your done applying it.

Flitz liquid. It's super easy & leaves a protective coating. I've used Simichrome, AutoSol, and Wendol (sp?) and for me, Flitz cannot be beat.

Mothers chrome cleaner in the small white jar works great for me.

If you want the "BEST" metal polish there is get Simichrome. Mothers Billet is a close second but is more cost efficient and easier to find. I do most my work with Mothers Billet and then use Simichrome for the final shine. If you are doing something big like an exhaust system I would even start with regular Mothers and then use the Billet or Simichrome for your finish work.

I don't care for the "film" that Blue Magic leaves behind.
