Damn!! Everyone's exhausts look great. I like to wash and clay bar my exhausts before doing any metal polishing to try to get all of the bigger chunks out first. Then, polish with a metal polish like everyone here has mentioned. After this though, I like to add protection. I find Klasse All In One creates the best balance between shine and longevity of protection. Any sort of protection will make it easier to maintain in the future.

Cold starts use a rich mixture of fuel and the combustion process produce moisture, presto an inky fluid results. Later the exhaust system is warmer and the moisture exits the pipe as steam. The exhaust still has some sooty components but nearly as much due to the leaning of the mixture.
