How's eagle never dull for the stock exhaust? Also, any recommendations on what to clean it with? Can I get away with a gerbil type wheel brush? I haven't cleaned mine since I bought it and noticed it's a little dirty in there.

not sure about the soda but the aluminum foil works like a charm..

Nope, not me. I use Mothers metal polish, but it doesn't seem to be any better or worse than other metal polish products I've tried over the years. After winter is over, I usually go over the tips and cans with the metal polish and 4-naught (0000) steel wool. If you go this route, be absolutely sure you're using the ultra-fine 0000 grade, otherwise you will certainly scratch the finish, really bad too. But 4-naught is pretty harmless... once in a while. Particularly if you've got bits of tar bonded to the stainless steel, that just refushes to buff off with polish alone.

As the years clip by, keeping the tips & cans polished gets more and more imperfect. It is what it is for a daily driver, perfection is the enemy of the good, etc.

Where do you get 4-naught (0000) steel wool? .. Is it different from what you get at the grocery store?

Home Depot, Lowes... typical hardware store stuff. Different grades of steel wool are often used in wood refinishing projects.

I use optimum metal polish and it takes off any residue pretty quickly with minimal rubbing, haven't tried many others to compare though.

Step 1: Nevr-Dull (if your tips are in real rough shape)
Step 2: Turtle Wax Chrome Polish to finish (or for basic maintenance a few times a year).
Step 3: Seal the surface annually to prevent future build up.

20 years and four cars later and I'm still on my first bottle of chrome polish.
