Exhaust? Stainless or Not? What's the coating on it?

"The CL has stainless steel exhaust components to better resist corrosion. And of course, all Acuras are covered by a 4-year/50,000 mile limited warranty, a 5-year/unlimited-mileage outer body rust-through warranty and a 4-year/50,000 Acura Total Luxury Care™ (TLC) package with roadside assistance."
This is from the Acura site, does anyone know what kind of coating is on the mufflers? Stainless shouldn't need anything.

Don't know what it's made of really but I clean it w/ turtle wax chrome polisher and it looks sweet all the time. Last time at the tysons meet every one was like DAYYUM you exhaust looks clean. And it only took 30 seconds to do. I all my cleaning supplies in my car so when I get bored or while I'm waiting for my stupid frineds to show up I detail/clean my car.
