    Just fitted the new exhaust, (carbon obviously) but what should I clean it with? The can is shiny but the tip a bit of a Matt look to it, is this how they end up or can you bring it back to life? What do you use?

    Wd40 or a fine grade finishing compound if it's badly worn

    A bit of T cut or another very mild abrasive polish.
