Default Exhaust cleaning

Anyone recommend a cleaning product for cleaning exhaust tail pipes that look a bit weathered.
Something from Halfords as its near by would do.

Auto Sol is the best stuff, apply it with a cloth or fine wire wool. Apply in one direction, ie back and forth then buff to a polished finish. will look like new mate

Autosol metal polish mate. Used it on my replacement dump valve last night (back to recirc LOL !). Better start saving though................... it costs £6.

The stuff pubs use to clean the bar taps. My mate got some from his mum, did a much better job than Autosol. I can't drive behind him now when the suns shining, bloody blinds me.

Mr Sheen is what you need, i swear by that stuff and it brings it up a treat. Mr Muscle aint bad either but Mr Sheen gives you a more professional finish.
