Got a picture of the scratches? Are the pipes coated or bare metal?

if the polish doesnt work;

try 2500 grit sand paper and WET SAND the area, once completed you can go to 3m for some 3micron film and then finish up with wenol metal polish.

Yeah posts some pictures if you can, but the Eagle One should take out any scratches that aren't too crazy.

The wetsanding is a good idea too. You can polish just about anything if you wet sand it. My exhaust manifold cover is proof.......

Yes but I would only do this if the scratches are more than tiny blemishes.

If the are then you will have to wet sand cause almost no amount of polishing will get them out unless you use a high speed buffer etc.

When I get done with somestuff im doing with my car, I will show you guys what sand paper, water, and some polish will do.

I have wet sanded and polished a few things under the hood of the msp. It is time consuming but the end result is worth it.
