Default Upkeep questions on 2IS

So for those of you who have after market exhaust or the HKS upgraded exhaust what do you use to keep it clean? My exhaust looked really nice when I first got it and now they're all dirty, so it's time for a cleaning.

Also I need to apply some touch-up paint so I bought some from Lexus. There's two places that need to be touched up, one right on my A-pillar which is a paint chip all the way to the metal, and the other is on my front bumper where there's just a slight rock chip. Last time I tried to use the touch-up paint it seemed to be too liquidly, I was using the brush and when I applied it to the chip on my A-pillar there was a huge blob of paint, and when I tried to wipe some of it away it smeared and got nasty, so I just wiped it all away. Then when I tried to apply some to the front bumper it all just ran down as soon as I applied it. Any good tips or techniques for using the touch-up paint? And do you think I'll have to take my front bumper off in order to paint it properly?
