Cleaning downpipes on Crosstourer, or bike valet company local to me...

[mark2jag]

Cant really find the info I need, not sure if downpipes, and exhaust generally are stainless steel or not, BUT the bike is looking a bit dejected, even with its low miles entirely due to the downpipes looking a little rusty. Can anyone advise me what to use on them to bring them back to day one condition or as near as dammit..

Also..... was thinking about a valet/cleaning outfit who might tackle the job and give the whole bike a bloody good clean. Soap and water does a good job to a point, but would like to see it back to factory cleanliness levels. Anyone know of anyone who does this in or somewhere near Camberley Surrey where I live?? Thanks all for any help I might get by posting this. Bike is ridden all weathers (even though its low miles and truly does not look its best.......

When my bike gets very hacky I give it a going over with snow foam.
As for the downpipes, solvo is about your best option

I use Harpic Blue Toilet Cleaner on stainless down pipes & finish with solvo.

If the pipes are stainless steel, there is only one truly effective spray on wash off cleaner and that is Optiglanz (Amazon sell it). Amazing stuff but best test a small area first.....and keep away from skin and eyes....powerful stuff.

Cheers
