Help with Rust

Does anyone know a good rust remover for the chrome on my exhaust? Is it normal to have rust in the exhaust, I have had them for only a couple of months, and the insides are completely rusty. I have tried CLR and some chrome polishers but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
~Thnx

Yes, it is normal to get corrosion inside your exhaust system. Remember, you've got a pretty nasty environment there with high heat and the byproducts of the combustion process coming through the inside and road grime, stones and everthing else bombarding the outside. If your exhaust tips are corroding - through the chrome plating - more than likely it wasn't a very good plating job. (Very common problem.) A good metal polish is about the best thing you can use there.

If you have corrosion inside your tips, the only one who we know of who used to polish in there was 01XLT Sport - and we never had the nerve to ask Burt how he got up in there.
