Default Tarnished stainless steel

Not quite a car but hoped someone would help!

Just got a 2nd hand link pipe and exhaust for the bike and was hoping to clean it up a bit, try and remove some of the brown shite and make it shiney again!

What would you people suggest? I didn't want to waste money on useless creams etc if they didn't work.

Cheers guys,

Went and got some metal polish in the end, and spent half a day with WD40 and the polish. The result? Well, it'll do! Lol

halfords do a kit for £15 but you get 2 round pads which attach to a drill and a polish. I was amazed with the results..
