Removing acid stains on exhaust ?
I assume that they are acid stains? Light yellowish color. I think I know the answer to this, but. Is there a solvent out there or a buffing technique that works ?

I don't think you can save that.... Most of the time it eats/stains the Chromium plating beyond hope.

It's not impossible to improve it, but it'll never be what it was. If the nickel plating isn't gone, you can polish it back pretty well, but if the acid took the nickel, it's a lost cause.
