Help with cleaning a used HKS exhaust

P's_Z

Responses to some of your questions:

1. What should I use to clean up the muffler cans? I want it to shine like a mirror again. Ive used a product called blue magic that works wonders on the exhausts ive had before. If you cant find it, Im sure ther are other OTC products that can also do the job.

3. Would you recommend replacing the rusted screws on the tips, or to clean them up with WD40 or something? Yes, replace these screws with the correct screws if possible

5. Should I clean the entire exhaust, because I wasn't going to clean anything beyond the muffler, I am afraid of it's exposure to winter salt. What ive done with exhausts in the past is paint them flat black(not the mufflers though). You cant really see the exhaust and painting them should also provide some protection from the elements(ive used high heat temp paint, no issues with rust). Before painting, you should clean then prime the exhaust first.

Hope this helps
