Default Prodrive exhaust cleaner

So what do people recommend to give the old "chrome" exhaust a nice shine then..?

Any ideas on how (or whether) to clean the visable inside as obviously its rather black ! or would this be a relentless task that makes it look silly...?

Don't know if this was the right or wrong thing to use, but on the Powerflow zorst on my last car 3/12 inch crome pipe, I used alloy wheel cleaner to get all of the stubbon black bits off. I done that for two years and the zorst never rotted through

Hope this helps

Andy

"autosol" or "peek" for me

autosol is more agressive

Autosol to get it clean the first time, then Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh once or twice a month keeps it that way, even through winter.

As above autosol or peek, but Subarus do tend to soot their exhausts up very fast ie. 2 days max, it goes from mirror polished inside to black coal face look but once it is polished its easier to clean the next time.
