Steel wool to start with, then a metal polish.

I used to use an abrasive creme cleanser like Gumption to clean my old exhaust. I used it like you would polish or wax, rub on then buff off. It worked really well for removing minor scratches and rust spots.

Autosol works a treat, looks like toothpaste but it takes all the oil etc of the old duc's mufflers :)

If the scatches are deep nothing will get them out and im guessing if silvo or a metal polish doesnt work then i hardly think coke will do anything.. perhaps a very very fine wet paper rub and polish..
