As it states above, I need some hints and tips for keeping the exhaust pipes nice and shiny please!

The crud off the road really does mess it up

You need about 2 hours, lots of hard work and some metal polish from Halfords (cant remember the name, but I'm sure someone else will) I gave up after about 30 mins last weekend, I may try again this weekend.

Autosol is the name of the metal cleaner

Jonboy is the person toask about cleaning, look at his bike and you will see why

and if you just want basic clean, rather than properly silver, get some cheap pan scouring sponges and some wd40. You get most of the crap off pretty quickly.

Use wet and dry to take the worst off then Autoglym metal polish, its better than autosol imo.
