Sanding a stainless steel exhaust
So I have the Apexi Evo N1 exhaust...
The insides of the tips are all black, and wiping hard with a dry towel does nothing. Will concentrated degreasers work? (ie. Simple Green)
Will I be able to lightly sand the insides to get all the soot off and not have the insides rust on me? I understand it's stainless steel and whatnot, but can it still rust if I sand it? Is there some kind of sealant I'm supposed to use?
I planned on using 800, then moving to 1500, then 2500 to smooth it all down. Should I pick up a Mothers Powerball and some metal polish to finish the insides?
I understand the insides will just get covered again, but I plan on maintaining/cleaning them from here on out as I do with everything else. I just don't want it to rust.

that is it. as soon as the wadding turns black, go to another piece. Once you get all the crap out of the pipes, use a fresh piece and then buff it out good.
Clean them everytime you wash your car and it will never be a pain in the butt again.
