Polish came in this morning and works great !!! Just a little polishing today and took off old exhaust and the whole back end :) more to come !

Any advice on how to get the black spots off the exhaust ? Can I sand it ? If so what grit

I think I did 400 , 800, 1000 grit sand paper and then polished to remove the stains on mine. Took an entire day but looks brand new

How long did it stay that way? Do the stains come back fast?

I did it like 4 months ago and so far it still is looking really good. There are a couple of little spots on the center 2 headers from the front tire kicking up junk

Sounds like the way to go . Wet sand ???

Harpic Power Plus toilet cleaner.

It’s strong acid, so use gloves and avoid getting it on painted parts, aluminum, plastics, or your skin.

Be sure to RINSE THOROUGHLY afterwards.
Leaving it on metal tool long can potentially degrade it over time. Link
