Re: HELP! how to clean a stainless steel muffler (BlueR)
Blue Away OWNZZ. I purchased a small bottle of it 2 weeks ago and polished up my used spoon header. Looks beautiful 
almost like new, so now i can discolor it myself 
huge diff because when i got it, it was deep deep bronze and had blueish-purple wherever fingerprints were. Now look new

Metal polish works unless it's really rusted. If it's bad you can use wet/dry sandpaper working your way up to 2000 grit then follow with metal polish. That's what I did to my header because I was bored.

Too much backpressure with that for my C's, caused the muffler to heat up more than normal and tint it bronze just like headers do

Well for me the only thing that usually sticks to my muffler and tip is road tar. So I just use Gunk Bug and Tar remover, if anyone knows if this will mess anything up let me know, but I have had no problems with it.
