Bumper off....
...and in the paint shop for a couple of days. So I took advantage of the easy access to the tailpipes and got the Silverline (a kind of Dremmel) to work with a soft pad and Autosol.
Very pleased with the results!

Great stuff for annual meet and the next 6 months on.
This is **bare** metal now. Stainless steel hopefully. Now think about all the salt in winter -- job needs to be repeated at least annually. I wonder if the thing was designed to be removable. If yes, I'd seriously think about sparkling silver powder paint.

Very nice! I may have to get one of those dremel tools. What kind of pad did you use, and brake cleaner too?
I was almost going to attack mine with a green dish-washer pad, but seeing as it scratches my frying pan, I didnt want to risk it on the exhaust tips.

I used a soft material pad on the 'dremmel' with lots of Autosol. And I used wheel cleaner on the calipers
