    Best polish for exhaust Revisited

    I had to laff at the results of doing a Search Forum to find out what the best wax is for the exhaust system. It only found one result and it was a post from 2011 that was started by me.
    So, in the past 2 yrs, has anyone found a cleaner and/or polish for the OEM exhaust system, especially the header pipe, that will clean and take the heat?
    I look forward to any responses I get just as I'm sure I did 2 yrs ago.

    I still use Mother's, as I have for over 20 years. I even use it to remove the hazing from my 4 wheeled vehicles' plastic headlight covers.

      I use this....on all the covers, plastic signal lenses, and the pipes. Made for aluminum but its all purpose as far as bikes are concerned.

            I use Blue Magic metal polish on exhaust headers, mufflers and other chrome parts.

                      I have used "Blue Job" in the past and it worked great for when they are bad. Comes in a tin like a big can of chew and is a blue powder you make a past out of. Removes bluing of pipes and even took off some burnt shoe rubber one time.

                      When just shining them up I also use Mothers with a power ball thing for the drill. Works great for me.

                            I've heard of using furniture polish on paint and plastic but would expect it to burn if applied to pipes once they heat up.
