Horse,
My mufflers had, in some areas but not all over, very small spots of rust beginning to form. I had success polishing these sposts out with "0000" grade (4 zeroes) steel wool. The steel wool is oil impregnated on so it doesn't rust on the store shelf and that impregnation seems to be just the right amount to coat and lubricate the mufller surface as you scrub away. Try an inconspicuous area first and be prepared to use ALOT of elbow grease. The steel wool also removed a lot of old-age tarnish and really made the mufflers shine. Once finished, I wiped them off with a clean rag and applied a coat of wax.

I tried to use the search engine but did not find what I was looking for regarding the exhaust pipes on my 1987 Paso 750. I managed to locate a new set of original stock pipes but they appear to need some type of cleaning. Can someone recommend the best way to clean and maintain the original pipes that came on a Paso? They are coated or painted and I don't want them to rust or be damaged in the cleaning process. Someone recommended Baby oil but I'm not sure...any help would be greatly appreciated.
