Easy cleaning of stains off ceramic coated headers

[DocMel]

My ceramics had both burned on oil and anti freeze stains.  To clean was super easy,  safe and quick

If you have a bench grinder, get a polishing fabric wheel and rogue (like you would use to polish stainless or metals) from Harbor frieght, about $20 with the rougue.

I had heavily burned on oil and antifreeze stains off in LESS than 5 seconds.  And it turns the ceramic very shiny, with very little effort.  QUICK, easy to use.   

Use the fine rogue (green) , thats all you need

To clean up after the rogue, just a little hand rub with Mothers 

You need high speed to clean off the stains (hence the bench grinder mounted fabric wheel) .  For the rest, hard to get areas, use a drill mounted ball to clean the not so bad areas

It takes very little effort to clean with the bench grinder mounted fabric wheel

DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR FINE SAND PAPER ON CERAMICS

Now you can polish bolts, aluminum, your stainless trim all on your own

Thanks 

I've had my bench set up to polish trim and such for about 4 years now, and was looking at it yesterday and had the idea to try it on my ceramic headers. They are off the car so I gave it a shot

So I treid it and was surprised how quick it was. 

Mine were really stained from a slow valve cover leak on one side and antifreeze stains from an overheat about year ago

It will also get slight scratches  off as well
