Well, Jeff when I HAD a Neon (one of those obnoxious Nitro
Yellow/Green ones ;) ) I took some medium sandpaper to my tail pipe
'cause I was so tired of seeing it rusting.  I then just used regular
old Mothers aluminum/metal polish on it.  After that it stayed nice,
clean, and free of rust.  I used to apply it about once every couple
of months.  Don't know how the Mothers stuff will hold up to use on
the entire exhaust...seems like a waste to use on a muffler/exhaust
pipes though unless you're planning on "showing" the car.
