Polishing Exhaust...HELP!!

[Black MZ3]

I have a very nice HKS exhaust but I've really neglected it. I've had it for about 14 months and haven't done much more than just wipe it off.

Here is the best picture I have availble at work:

I'd like to get it looking new again. I've read that P21S(?) is recommended but I have a car show this weekend (Hot Import Nights) so getting it shipped in time is a problem. Is there any "over the counter" metal polish that will work on SUS304 stainless steel? I've tried Eagle One Never Dull wadding but it didn't do much at all.

I also love Blue Majic, Meg All Metal Polish and Autosol
But it's strange because Never Dull is also a pretty good polish

maybe my exhaust was too hot?? i used it about 10 minutes after i arrived at a car show.

 

[devst8]

yeah maybe the heat breaks the polish too fast. could you touch the exhaust with your hand without get burn?

 

[Black MZ3]

yeah i could touch it but it was definately warm.

do you recommend anything that i can find at an auto store or even wal-mart?

Mothers all metal polish. The exhaust should be cleaned first, and cold. Id clay it too.
