Default Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust

What do people use to clean original exhaust system?

well like all things it greatly depends on where you start from, if you have a barely used bike, then it's only a matter of "polishing it up" and autosolve works fine, however if you use your bike and you have that buildup of the brown stuff, then ally wheel cleaner and a scothbright pad works well to get most of it off without to much elbow grease.

Cheers Mark.

Technically you're supposed to use 'autosol - fine' on the can I think...but that could well just be to put more cash in autosols pockets.
