My manifold is looking sorry for itself and is dragging down the overall look of the bay. I tried polishing it and even used an ultra high paint but it's done no good. It's just burnt and melted it and now its left a naff residue. Any ideas on how I can make it look a bit newer?

I used Halfords high temp exhaust paint on my last XE, Never burnt off or anything like that.
You could get the exhaust ceramic coated, Not cheap but helps performance too.

It's all in the prep work it seems. I scotched my exhaust, cleaned it with panel wipe then made the wife spray it
