      I have used WD-40 and some 0000 fine wool. There's also been a recent thread on the forum about aluminum foil working with a good explanation of how it works.

        Foil works great but you will need to seal it with something or it will just come back. The nickel layer in your chrome has been compromised and will allow rust to return. I think you cna use something like Zoop Seal or similar to seal it once the rust is removed. Depends on where the rust is at on the exhaust.

          Rust...

          Ive had good success removing rust from my headers with 1000 grit wet sand paper. Sounds scary I suppose but I did it to my header pipes and I havent had anything rust up again.After I did it I just followed up with McGuires metal polish.Now my pipes are just starting to blue up(which to me is way better than the rust). Steel wool wouldnt touch the rust on mine...so I took the chance and it paid off.
