ss exhaust turning goldish/brown
i have a trustpower extreme II stainless steel exhaust.. i have had it for about 4 years now.. when i first bought this exhaust it looked like a mirror.. but over time it started turning goldish brown.. people told me it was due to my exhaust getting to hot.. anyways i tried just washing it with soap and water while washing my car but it doesnt do anything.. i was wondering if there was any kinda of solution that anyone knows about.. just want the exhaust to shine again.. thanks

Even decent SS with 4 years of road use will start to stain. Nothing a little bit of acid can't take care of! Ive had good luck with a can of diet coke and a ball of aluminium followed by something less abrasive like never dull to polish it off..

i tried a product called brasso.. its some sort of metal polish.. didnt do a DAMN thing haha.. someone posted that never dull is good but takes longer then brasso.. so i bought brasso.. wasted 30 mins of yanking trying to get the damn exhaust off the hanger!
