Autosol is highly regarded. Autoglym metal polish seems to work too.

Use this all the time and its fantastic. Also used it on alloys and they come up like new.  Just don't use them on laquered alloys, the Monza's being a prime example as it takes the laquer off.

I read a similar post on another forum and quite a few people recommended Megs NXT metal polish.

I am probably going to be buying some and testing it on my exhaust this weekend
