whats the best product for cleaning up stains , and making stainless tail pipes shine ,

Mother's Mag wheel polish.

I usually wipe them with a rag soaked in CLR or lime-a-way(gloves are a must). Then polish if needed. The Mother's is good stuff.

I really like Flitz paste but its hard to find.

+1 on the liquid bath/shower lime remover. We use The Works.
Also, we find the lime removal products for toilet bowls are too strong and not needed.

i had thought lime scale stuff would work simple green makes some they also make a spray metal cleaner i am just looking to make it a bit easier then buffing them out all the time

hey....
west marine's hull cleaner has some of the zing of the "sea..." (can't remember the name)...look for something with a oxcylic+ /hydrocloric- acid blend, it will disolve the rust/tarnish...keeping it away is a bit@h because of the heat/salt issues.....if you find something let us know..
