Maintaining exhaust???

I jsut got new exhaust and I want them to keep them shiny. Its a daily so stuff gets on it. This is my 3 rd pair of exhaust, the most expensive one and the best looking one too, HKS draggers, so I wnt to keep them clean. Any suggestions and productions would be great. Sorry I dont have pics of them, I jsut barely unwrapped the box. Got excited and got concerned about keeping them shinny. THANKS!!!

After you install them, just make sure to wipe all oil, grease or finger prints off them before they get hot. Other than that, just use a power washer to clean the dirt off them.

For me, I do the wet sand technique. I use a thin sand paper sheet and wet it. My friend suggested it to me and so far it keeps it shiny.

Very nice. Yeah, I was hoping to get those, but that's the way the ebay auction crumbles.
