I suspect that most of the crud on my exhaust headers is from bugs that have vaporized when they splattered on the headers. (I do live in Maine you know.) I have cleaned them with NOXON metal cleaner and found that using a 3M pad worked best. However, the White Pad which I believe is the most gentle, did nothing. I had to use the Brown Pad to remove the crud. Problem is, the Brown Pad has left a dull finish on the pipes.

What are you using? What do you think I can use to shine my pipes back up again?
