Not long after the tank repairs, I decided to give that muffler a little love. A completely pointless exercise, but I've always loved the shape of these mufflers, and while I managed to get it clean, I had to use a wire brush to get it there.

To get full access, and to not splatter that new plastic tank with polish residue, I removed the muffler from the engine. I then used good-old Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish on a foam cone attachment.
