What to use to polish my exhaust?

I have heard people use AIO to polish their exhaust but mine is starting to turn yellow after a month with it. It's an aftermarket TRD exhaust, I just want the nice shine to come back and get rid of the yellow. What does everyone use and what process?
 
AIO can be used on metal, but IMO, especially on an exhaust tip - that gets super hot, and sees a lot of chemical gas and pollutted liquid, brake dust - to name a few - you should try using a metal polish suited for the type of metal it is - I have a nissan frontier with their off road exhaust - and the tip gets destroyed - I used mothers metal polish, and it did the job nicely. There are other, better products though, I would like to try some other brands . . .
 
some good ones are..Wenol...Noxon....NXT metal polish...Flitz...English Custom polish..Maas metal polish.....just to name a few....



wear hand protection when using metal polish...some contain ammonia as a cleaner ...

on my chrome tips on the truck I use Blue Magic metal polish.



Me too. This is a great product and I absolutely love it! I bought some the other day, mostly because it was cheap and I didn't have good results with Mother's metal polish. I was completely amazed by the results. Today I cleaned my chrome exhaust tips, which were brown and some rust spots, and they shined up very easily.



Here's the results that I got with Blue Magic on my intercooler... obviously the mirror finished looking areas are the polish parts :)

Eagle One Never Dull is also nice, but I use that just mostly in the engine bay.
 
Well it looks like i have some options here. Can someone rank these for me. It's always so hard to pick a product to try since everyone here has their favorites.
 
Maas or Simichrome is my favorite for items like that.



Mother's Billet is a close second.



For ULTRA fine surfaces (show quality) use Adams Metal 1,2 combo.
 
I use the Flitz polish with their polishing ball. The polishing ball on my drill motor takes all of the work out of metal polishing. It worked wonders on my chrome truck bumper.
 
How does the Flitz one compare to the mother's powerball? It's so hard to pick just one product. At this point I want to try a couple of different ones.
 
Ive had great success with Mother Mag & Aluminum Polish. I haven't used any other metal polishes to compare it to, but it worked for cleaning 4 years worth of garbage off the end of my exhaust.
 
I've been usinf P21S polishing soap a lot lately and really like it. It works similarly to nevr dull/blue magic etc, but it smells better and lasts forever.
 
I'm going to try out the blue magic today and I'll update. I almost bought the Nevr Dull, but when I opened the can and saw the **** you find in a hamster cage, I was a little turned off. Smelled like polyurethane tho, so I'll try it next time.
