Default How to clean an exhaust?

Is there any good techniques on cleaning the car's exhaust. I've been scrubbing it with an sos scrub and all i get is some steel showing on the side again, but the tip is still brownish black. THe exhaust is made out of stainless steel, but here's a pic of it from the rear b4 i even tried cleaning it

One of my MR2 buddies used to polish his exhaust all the time with stainless steel polish (check your local AutoPepZone).

Never understood why, but hey, it was his car.

After you sandpaper your exhaust, sandpaper that rear wiper arm and paint it black again.

... and put your R stock wing back on. And the correct emblem, and... wait... it's not an R is it?
My bad, I looked for an R in the "Type R" forum.

It looks like an RS maybe with the factory accesory wing........ so it would go in the Integra Forum right. Not the Integra Type R forum, and what made you paint the wiper arm white?

It's the crappy Winnipeg road scum!

Get some WENOL or SS polish to get that pipe shiny again.

Your car appears to be running rich.
