You may write your own polar grid, e.g.:

PolarGitter[r_, dr_,  df_] :=
{Table[ Text[2 Pi  n/(2 df), 
    Through[{Re, Im}[(1.1 r) Exp[2 Pi I n/(2 df)]]]],
	{n, 0, 2 df - 1}],
  GrayLevel[0.6], 
  Table[Line[{Through[{Re, Im}[r Exp[n I Pi/df]]], 
     Through[{Re, Im}[-r Exp[n I Pi/df]]]}], {n, 0, df}],
  Table[Circle[{0, 0}, n r/dr], {n, 1, dr}]
}

Then:

PolarPlot[E^(x/20), {x, 0, 35}, Prolog -> {PolarGitter[7, 1, 8]}, 
 PlotRange -> {{-8, 8}, {-9, 9}},
 Axes -> None]
