i used meguirs scratch remover on mine cos i had some already - was horrible and rusty but came up a treat with a bit of work - autosol should be good as well

Step 1

First, using a dry rag or paper towels, wipe off as much soot and dirt from the outside of the muffler as possible. You may want to wear latex gloves for this. This reduces the amount of dirt to deal with when you use water in the next step.

Step 2

Mix 1 teaspoon of dishwashing soap with a quart of warm water. Use a rag to wash the outside of your muffler with this solution. The dishwashing soap cuts grease and should remove stains that the dry rag couldn't get.

Step 3

If your muffler still looks dingy or has lost its chrome-like sheen, dry the muffler in preparation for shining it up. Make sure it's completely dry before moving on to the next step.

Step 4

Determine whether your muffler is made of aluminum or chrome. Buy either chrome polish or aluminum polish, depending on your muffler.

Step 5

Apply the polish with a soft, dry cloth. Rub the polish into the metal until it shines. Not only does the polish make the muffler look shiny and new, but it also protects it from getting dirty as quickly.
