Default How to shine up Stainless Steel?

Iv got the GMMG exhaust on my car and I'd like to shine up the dual chambers a bit. What would be best or even work? Mothers shine? Brillow pad? Any other suggestions or is this a hopeless cause.

NXT Metal Polish and Mother Power Ball worked pretty dang good on my SLP Dual-Dual System. I need to do the muffler now but the tailpipes shine like crazy.

My TA is lowered... I wonder if the GMMG would be visable from the back, all shiney and stuff. I can walk behind it and look, but its not the same as being behind it in a car.

I like doing projects like that. I love to polish stuff. I use mothers billet polish and it works great. Brilex(sponsor) ------> also has some nice stuff.

I was just curious as to how much you could get SS to shine up. If it was even noticable. But, im about to go find out

*UPDATE*
I used Mother's Shine on the exhaust today and it made a huge difference. I doubt youd be able to see the difference from behind the car or anything & I cant say that you can tell much from the pics, but here is a before & after example.

Before


After


I was happy w/ the results. I'm wondering if it'll still keep shine once the exhaust gets some heat to it and possibly changes the color of the GMMG... Only time will tell I guess.
