Default Keeping that pipe nice and shiny

Hi.
I was wondering what most people did to keep your pipes and manifolds nice and shiny.

spray it with silicone before each run then wipe it off at the end - stops oil and crap from sticking and then baking on to the pipe and manifold - i hear the JP series of pipes have a coating on them that is supposed to stop this anyway.

Thanks for your suggestions guys. Mine is fairly new and has started pitting in some places.

Yeah JP series pipes are available in optional hardcoated anodized aluminum, very durable finish, doesn't oxidize.
