I have a custome made stainless steel exhaust system on my bravo and the chrome tailpipe have started to go brown(kinda like if burnt), how do i clean this. its not rust just stuff that youb get on a frying pan when you slightly burn it. any ideas on how to clean. i was told to use diesel or petrol but im not 2 sure.

try a metal polish such as brasso and elbow grease

not sure about the chrome tailpipe but i use WD40 and loads of elbow grease on my stainless exhaust, as suggested when last one was made up for me

Available at good hardware stores Prestige 98772 Stainless steel cleaner its the dogs danglers at least thats what I was told Edit Ime not sure mind you that you should try cleaning a dogs danglers with this as the dog just might object

Well elbow grease thingy brings back a memory to when I was a lad and in carpentry class our teachers name was Bob Mower we used to call him Mortice Mower and he heared me say that in one of the classes anyway I was turning a bowl on the lathe that day and started to apply the wax coat and polish it when he said to me come on boy use some elbow grease i looked at him he went into his pocket and pulled out half a crown and said nip down the local shop and get some as we are out of it so off I went and looked a right pratt when I got back to class without it :bang:

pmsl classic that! 1 of my old Design tech teachers told one of my mates to go to the headmaster to say we were out of elbow grease and to ask him to get some, i almost pissed myself when my mate went happily off to headmasters

Autosol is great stuff, use it on a 70% chromed 100 anniverasry harley davidson my pub landlord owns - i give it a clean he gives me free beer

WD40 is great for getting rid of tars spots etc.
I used to use autosol but I've found Autoglym metal polish to be better.

I've seen a lad sent off to the PE dept for a long stand. He came back about 20 minutes later to say the teacher just told him to wait there for a while..
