cleaning stainless steel???

I just picked up a new/used exhaust that is stainless steel. However it is very dirty, oily, and a little rusty on the flanges. Is there anything made for cleaning this type of steel that won't ruin the finish? I always use Simple Green, and a friend suggested baking soda or vinegar. Any thoughts?
Thx.Mike

I've been told that coca cola works on stainless steel.

Try some Autosol metal polish. I use it to clean exhaust tips and whatnot, and it works great. You can get it at Crappy Tire.

I believe its called MAAS... You can pick it up at CT, I used this stuff to clean my hammerheads after I got the oxidation blasted off! It comes in a small tube about 7-8 inches long and its about 5 bucks, but this stuff kicks a@#!

see if I can post pics of my rims after I cleaned them, to give you an example.
