If it is matte finish stainless and not the really bright stuff, many people
use a Scotch-Bright pad.

I would start with the cleaning as Dave suggests.  But I would probably test
which grade w/d to start with on a hidden spot. 1000 grit or even higher
might do the job with less abrasiveness.    Real fine grade steel wool is
another option.

I am a bit of a clean freak.  I have a  Bell stock stainless steel exhaust
system on my 72 TR6 installed in 2006.  I would like to cleanup the visible
pipes, anyone on the list have any advice on cleaning stainless steel?
Anyone worked with any cleaning products?



I would first clean off any oil or grease with a good detergent.  What is
left is backed on carbon and corrosion.  That I take off with #400 wet/dry
sandpaper.  Depending on how shiny you want you can clean up with #600 and
#1000 grit w/d sandpaper after that.
