Default "While im at it...." Exhaust Cleanup

I couldn't stand the sight of those 2 1/2" exhaust pipes covered in rust/crud and figured while I had things tore apart working on the rear suspension that I should at least clean it up a bit.

A few hours later with my sander and I was surprised how well it cleaned up, my original thought was to paint them after they were cleaned up but that bright shiny metal looks pretty dang good now. Anyone know of a product I can use to keep the rust at bay and deal with the heat at the same time? Any other suggestions?

Some day down the road, I'll add some headers and replace the entire system, but until then I want make the most of what I have. The wallet is still recovering from my other "while your at it's"

Thanks in advance!!!
