this is twice today I'm posting about WD-40, but what the hell. if you have a stainless exhaust, you clean your exhaust as normal(soap and water), then get it nice and hot and apply a rag soaked in WD-40. it will cause the stainless to begin to turn the goldish colour. the more you do it, the more rainbow effect it will take on. plus it makes it really easy to keep clean after that.

So do I. Plus cops won't give my exhaust a second glance for exhaust mods.

Do you follow it up with a polish? or only use the wd40?

DUDe ur wrong, Cops check to see how black your tip is this way they can "blame" you for racing, it wont prove anything but its a characteristic cops look for.
