I used the "Adam's Metal Polish #2" and it worked wonders on the SS tips on my RUF exhaust.

There is an old thread on 6-spd that talks about a great product for stainless. In this case it was door sills, but maybe this would work for your Europipe.

Myself, I like Flitz metal polish and P21S metal polishing soap.

[Hell, I wish I had a Europipe to polish!]

Hey! That thread looks familiar...

That product (Scratch B Gone) works good for restoring the brushed look to metal. It is very very effective in restoring most metals - it was originally designed for kitchen stainless appliances.

Steve, if your exhaust is polished to a chrome like finish, I'd recommend P21S +/- Mother's metal polish but use an aggressive mechanical buffer...hand polishing won't get it done. Alternatively, you can remove the part that you want to polish and have a metal fabricator use a belt polisher on it.

If you post pics, I'm sure we can give you more advice (or the guys on the detailing section can.)
