Angry Scratches on exhaust

I had my Thermal R & D Stealth Cat-Back system put on my car yesterday. When I took it to the shop the muffler "can" was in pristine condition. When I took it home it had "dirty" spots on it where the guys who installed it left fingerprints and stuff. No big deal, took Mother's polish to it. However, I did notice two really big scratches on the "can". How do I get rid of these? Mother's polish obviously did not do the trick.

Don't worry about it. More scratches will appear, especially when you scrape. That's the price you pay for having an aftermarket exhaust.

Yeah...that happens, don't think you can do anything about it. I srcatched mine twice. I learned my lesson after the second time. I go real slow on speed bumps and up my drive way.

Get some Flitz polish and rub hell out of it. Then shine it up with Simichrome polish.
