Best exhaust wax?

[willie]

Has anyone found a good heat resistant wax OR a good way to keep the exhaust, especially the header pipe, looking good?
The original exhaust on my latest G is in perfect condition and I'd like to keep it that way.
Thanks,
Willie

No wax. Autosol should do the job.

So? This stuff goes on after the crude is off, or does it clean too?

It will clean off road grime, light rust etc. without much effort....it polishes to a pretty brilliant shine & protects too (no, I'm not affiliated to the company). My tube is over 10 years old...had no chrome on my bike, but it works great to clean & polish the stainless exhaust system I recently put on, with minimal effort. I have used it on chrome in the past, and it always gave good results.... to the point that I've never used anything else, since. I have heard good things about products like Blue Job etc. too, but never tried them.

I ran the wheel and the black stick all over the aluminum to bring back a shine, now it looks like it needs it again. I figured there had to be a stuff to keep the shine. So, just hose her down and then shine with this stuff? No polishing wheels and special grit sticks etc?

It isn't as aggressive as the black stick, but it will work to maintain that shine quite easily, esp. if you use it with any regularity. I used a tiny dime-size amount on a rag to clean with, and another clean cloth take it off & polish....you could use a buffing wheel for better results, but it isn't necessary. It will leave a thin protective layer that beads water etc., but the only way to prevent oxidation of your alu. parts for the long term, would be to apply some clear coat to seal them.
