white spot on Stainless steel exhausts?
Hey ya'll... I have a set of Apex'i stainless steal mufflers.
Was just polishing 'em down today and came across these weird white spots that were on the inside of my left muffler tip (well, one spot).
In any case, I used eagle one chrome polish and even tried to scratch it off with my nails... but to no avail...
Question... is there some sort of clear coat on these stainless steel exhausts?
And just any suggestions... becuase the white spot is on like, the inside top of the muffler tip. I have no idea how a scratch or mark could have gotten on 'em.

The Old Grey Whistle Test
It sounds like acidic condesation has compromised the chrome producing a 'spot. (I assume it is chrome on the inside and not alum or HT paint.
If my assumption is correct your surface chrome/ss/HT paint will need to be replaced
Without a better description of the material involved and a photo of the promblem this is as close as I can get

Longoverdue pictures no 56K
Sorry guys for the long overdue pictures... but does anyone know what the hell these white spots on my exhausts are?
I'm only worried about the big white spot. Everything else is just dust that gets picked up real well by the cameras...
