Default Keeping your Firestorm clean?

Just got my firestorm, was nice and shiny and now its a complete mess after about 20miles, going to give the car a nice wash and wax today and do some pics, whats the best way to keep the firestorm (or any exhaust) shiny. Particularily the inside bit which you can see most of since its a 5" tail pipe?

Mods, we need a forum for cleaning products and stuff I reckon

Thumbs up

Another vote for Autoglym metal polish. Buy the stuff in the small tube, 10 mins of elbow grease and you'll be able to use your backbox as a mirror
