Well since its stainless steal it shouldnt rust.
Try some kind of polish if you really want to clean it that bad. |

Windex Cleans it up really nice. Also try getting a solvent that makes stuff rust proof or prevents rust.

THANK YOU!
I am just concerned because when i took out the stock muffler, i was very disgusted with it- the hangers were so rusted, which looked like it would come out anytime and the muffler was very dirty and black. I just don't want my new muffler to look like the stock one.
THANK YOU for helping me out!! i appreciate it.  |

industrial strength degreaser is fantastic and cheap. Go to a school and ask a custodian for a bottle (you'd be suprised that they'll say sure (I do
 ) hell the school doesnt pay for it, the admins do.  )) Something like Wexford brand is great. Most indutrial degreasers are pink and they work hell of a lot better than the stuff in stores....make sure you wear some gloves |

Simple Green is the best move. It turned my muffler from black to shining in one try.

You Just Dont Know Till You Know
WD-40 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hands Down thier is no better degreaser. Also if the shop welded hangers to your muffler, those spots will rust.
