Water does just fine, if you wanna polish it, metal polish will do it good. I only clean the outside of mine, I think the black marks from the turbo in the center of the pipes look kinda cool if you ask me....

It would be very hard to get the black stuff inside off even if you wanted to. I don't think it would be worth the trouble as it would come back within a few weeks anyways.

Its not that hard, I just use the same sponge that I have for my Calipers and Rims and stick my hand in there....I do it maybe once a month or once every two weeks when the marks get really bad, or if I'm heading to a show, but I personally like the way it looks.

I use the Armor All Car Wash Wipes that I use on the SRT-4 body as well. They shine up the metal and clean the "soot" off of the edges of the pipes. The wipes are faster for shining up the car when all it has on it is "road dust".....

Ok a few more ?'s to. Is it bad for it to be dropping what looks like water when i warm it up in the morning, this is during like 20 degree temps. Also what do you do to get that crap off the black thing in between the doors. It is all smudgy on mine and I can't get it off with water.

The water dripping is fine. All cars will do that. Try using S100, this will work wonders on all parts of the car, and its safe and biodegradeable, yet very, very strong. It will clean brake dust and other gunk off like it's nobody's business, and the black soot from the exhaust will come off easily as well.

For the exhaust tips I use Turtle Wax chrome polish with rust remover, it makes them shine and gets off all the little road particles that like to stick and stay. It will also easily remove the carbon build up on and in the tips as well. For the part between the doors as well as the entire car I use Meguires Quick Detailer, it will give the car that just waxed look and helps remove and keep water spots away.
