Polishing stainless steel exhaust - best way ?
 
As per title - just wondered what products I need and how hardcore i need to get with it to get a decent shine into it if that is actually even possible.

The exhaust in not new - has been on the car for a while and it would be great to get something close to a mirror shine into it but i guess that is asking a bit much.

autosol and a lot of elbow grease. or use a polishing mop and autosol

Autosol... Build your muscles up first though :cry:

How clean will i be able to get it tho cos given it a quick go with auto glym metal polish and not much happended really - or is it that Autosol is a bit more hardcore and will work better ???

I got a DA so could use that as my polisher - save my arms a bit.

only if you put a polishing pad on the sander and not sandpaper.. give it a rerally good wash with some TFR then get the polisher/mop out use g3 followed by auto-sol but dont expect instant resualts will take hours if it tarnished

thanks for the advice and i will remember - TFR followed by G3 followed by auto-sol and not sandpaper lol
