From what I have been told, people can use any sort of grinder or hand drill with a soft bonnet on the end and a metal polish. The polish is abrasive enough to shine the metal.... if the exhaust has been on there for a while I would take it off..... it's a hassle, have fun.

I had mine polished, but can get the same results. I polished everything else on my car.

Here is a write up I did to help... Polishing

I paid $400.00 to have it polished, that is why I started doing the polishing myself.

Eastwood and McMster Carr sell everything you'll need. I did one using a pedastal (spelling ?) grinder outfitted with buffing wheels from McMaster Carr- no sanding required. It will make a HUGE mess.
