Is it possible to get a mirror shine on my HKS true dual exhaust? I want it to match my wheels as far as shine.

OCD results....lmao

Check out the pic of my under carriage in my garage, albums. You can keep the system looking like new but it takes some effort. I use a friends lift to do oil changes, that's the best (easiest) time to clean/polish your HKS exhaust. After getting everything clean I use Mothers metal polish and an old cotton heavy duty shirt from my rag bag. That's also when I clean the inside of my Volks and Stillen sways and the rest of my under carriage. You can do the job while it's on jack stands too but it not nearly as much fun....
