How much?

Though I was going to wait till Summer 2014 before I got myself something japanese and stupid. (Said when I first passed my test at 18 that i'd have a Skyline or something similar for the Summer when i'm 30. 8 years later and i'm still going to :p)
 
Any recommendations on exhaust cleaner? MY stainless system was fitted a month ago, and I want to polish it up to bring it up again.

I've also got a De-Cat pipe from my old system that I want to clean before selling. Again any recommendations?
 
I'm still using the Megs clay bar - they do a little pack with two clay bars, a box and lube. Halfords have it for £22.

As for metal polish - Autosol.

Cillit bang, no joke.

Few squirts of cillit bang, leave it to soak in and then rub off with a cloth.

Not the best picture to show the exhaust, don't have any close up.

Could anyone recommend which clay bar I should get? I think I'll also need some of the lubrication spray to go with it.

Thanks

Just get a yellow poly clay and don't bother buying specific lube... it's a waste of money.

Personally I just mixed a bit of Meguiars Mist & Wipe with water and used that as lube. It worked perfectly :)

Waxed the car today.

Then was provided with the perfect illustration of why silver is the least rewarding colour ever :(
