Just rip some wad off and polish.
Let the polish hase, just like wax.
then wipe hase off with a rag.

I used brasso metal polish (for all metals) and the exhaust looks like new again. Cheap stuff at walmart.

Id say that is the best way to do it. Eagle works wonders. although all the other ways will work just as good.

Never dull sounds good, Brasso I wouldn't use on any car too much solvent, when i was in the Army we used to use Brasso to polish all the clear coat off of our brass, and or Gold uniform parts. Brasso is much to harsh, we used a lot of brasso, because once you wear off the clear, it tarnishes easy. maybe light steel wool, but that will scratch the finish.
