Default Tips for exhaust cleaning

Looking for tips for cleaning the full exhaust piping along with the canister. Just picked up a Tomei exhaust and wanted to hear some ideas for cleaning it all up. Also, if I should use a specific pad and such.

Do you just use a microfiber with the wheel lip polish?

Wow, cleaning exhaust pipes?

Dayam, thought I was OCD. Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.....

But then, wait a minute, I did JUST sand and paint my Magnaflow muff (on my Z31). Lawdy, I is weird. "Butt butt... I had the wheels off and the car up on stands... and it was RIGHT THERE in all of it's grimy ugliness!"
