Hi All,
Just had a TRD exhaust installed on the Camry, the mufflers and tips are all stainless steel.
Was wondering what to use to keep them nice and shiny down the road.
Oh btw, it sounds so nice. Not loud at all, just a nice low tone. Of course the tone changes with the force of the right foot.
Thnx in advance.

Check out BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Metal Acrylic Sealant. Since your exhaust is new you need to seal it up and protect it from day 1.


Another great option is Collinite Metal Wax. Here is a link to my review.

I got a Borla cat back system for my Cobra and only the tips were polished.

So I sanded the entire system, then polished it. Used a shop belt sander with 260, then 600, then rotary discs with 1000, and finally 1500.
Switched to my Flex with 2000 and finally 3000.
Then final polishing was with a cloth polishing wheel with red rouge then white. The pipes and muffler shine like mirrors. And Mother's keeps them looking that way. The already polished tips got only Mother's
