    You can get cleaner at bike shops for that purpose but since chrome and stainless steel tends to turn blue and yellow with heat there's nothing you can do to keep it from coming back so better get used to how it looks. In order for an exhaust not to turn color it has to be double walled so the outside never gets hot.

    Get rid of the chrome :) Not a fan of chrome too much work to keep clean rather be riding!

    If the Blue is caused by intense heat on the chrome ... you can't get rid of it!
    You own it!
    A Jardine System turns blue seconds after you hit the Start Button.
    Looks fine until that heat blues the head pipes from the collars half-way down the pipe!

    a product called blue job is guaranteed, and doesn't do a bad job, pricey, but good
