Default Cleaning/Polishing exhaust muffler/tip?

I recently swapped exhausts.. stock on the 94. Apex'I Dunk on the 95. it looks good but it could shine more.. and it has a tiny bit of rustish coloring around the weld. not too bad though. Any ideas on how to polish/clean this up? what do you guys use? Some type of aluminum polish?

Thanks,

Rubens

they have some metal polishing cloths that work sweet as hell - they are perfect for circular objects - like headers and exhaust tips and cans -

Doesn't Griots Garage just repackage other products out on the market?

Anyways, I've used this stuff called X-treem metal polish http://www.cecodist.com/02001.htm works great on aluminum and stainless.
