You can get a scrub pad to wipe it down, that usually helps. You can't really fix discoloration from heat though.

Discoloration is normal for all exhaust, right? Not worried about that much. Thank you! |

Yeah just use care and common sense when doing it. You don't want to leave any chemicals on the exhaust so give it a good wipe down with a clean rag. Discoloration is no big deal at all, even if you could get it off, it'd come right back anyway.

I've heard to just use steel wool and scrub it.
On the side note... still haven't spotted me :'( |

I use some of the Mother's metal polish on the Cusco bars to polish them up some. Seems to work alright, but there's probably even better polish to use. I may use it on my Invidia exhaust before a car show.

If you use steel wool, use OOOO which is super fine.
