Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
Sally's right, mine is a stainless can so rain & a rub with a glove makes it all shiny and nice

Edit: just checked - mine is coated in rust

Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
The downpipes on my old bike were a mess, but about to take delivery of a 2000 mile 56plate sv that looks like its never seen the rain so i'll be trying to keep it that way!

Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
Downpipes are not coated they are just low grade stainless. Dizzyblonde is the polishing freak to talk to. But, if they are already shiny, then regular autosol will keep them that way.

Re: Whats the best thing for cleaning exhaust
When the exhaust has been a state I've used wire wool along with autosol, as an example (and I know it's not an SV)
