Please Help: Recondition Exhaust
Hello everyone:
I have a Borla dual tipe exhaust that was sold as an accessory piece from toyota canada. I don't know if they still have the same one for sale. Anyways, I would like to polish or recondition the exhaust tipe as it is very dirty and does not have the shiny look to it anymore. I tried calling muffler shop in Vancouver to see if any of them would do it and so far I got a No as a response so I'm just wondering if anybody here in Vancouver know anywhere that might do that service. Also if anybody know any "Do It Yourself" methods that would bring the shine back up, please let me know. I'm considering using a mesh polish wheel on a drill but I'm afraid it's going to leave some pretty bad scratch marks on the metal  so please help me out. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Chrome or Jeweler's Polish would do the trick nicely.

A auto body or detailing shop should be able to polish the tip for you.
Nothing out of the ordinary is needed to polish stainless steel or chrome. |

I polish my Borla exhaust all the time. I just just mag wheel polish, a clean rag and lots of elbow grease.
Even inside the tip |
