Removing stains on ceramic coated headers
Any tips on cleaning old coolant and oil stains off of white, ceramic coated headers? Or are they baked on there for good? ...

Go to streetrod section. This section is for stock vehicles.

How do you know he has a streetrod? Maybe he has a header on his Model A or on his early V-8. The guy asked a question and right away you jump to conclusions and try to run him off.

Re: Removing stains on ceramic coated headers
I use an aluminium polish from "Mothers" on my silver ceramic coated headers and it takes out all most all of the stains.

Re: Removing stains on ceramic coated headers
+1
Headers don't make it a street rod... My car is pretty well stock but has Red's headers and Smitty's on it, and a Mallory dizzy and ignition. Other than that. As built. Ceramic, unless glazed, is typically porous. You may be stuck with the stains. IDK if weak muriatic acid (HCl) would work? Maybe try it in an inconspicuous spot? I'm a big believer in two products. Simple Green and Super Clean. I doubt if either will help with this particular problem, though. |

Re: Removing stains on ceramic coated headers
UH-OH!!! Don't let the HAMBers hear you call them. "Street Rodders"!!!
LOL! Are they actually ceramic, like porcelain, or ceramic like JetHot? I used light Scotchbrite and carb cleaner, then buffed out shiny. ,(JetHot) OMG! |
