Advice for cleaning off/preventing rust
 

Has anyone got any recomendations of a cleaner or product that removes mild rust?

and is there anything that will help prevent rust build up on the lower part of the exhaust?

the exhaust should be stainless steel so wont have rust!! ut a god clean with some fine sand paper and polish with Autosol will see it right

I use Muck Off to give it a rinse but the lot here don't like it. But I love it and the bike is very clean.

Do you mean the exhaust headers, the first bit after the pipes come out of the engine ?

If so, its not rust its burnt on dirt and road grime, and the only way you're going to get that off is as said with alot of elbow grease.

Personally I woudlnt bother as its hard to keep it that way. As as soon as it rains you'll get crud over it all again.
