Can the stock muffler be cleaned up?

I'm gonna detail the car tomorrow and will be polishing the tips, but wanted to know if the muffler can be polished.

Yes, but use a polish meant for metals. Following a thorough shampooing and drying job with a few rigorous applications of EO's Wadding Polish (available everywhere) ought to do the trick.

The OEM muffler is protected with rust inhibitor. Leave it alone.

+1.. Use soap and water to clean. If you want it shiny, go with a stainless or titanium aftermarket exhaust.
