how to clean burned oil off ceramic headers?
« on: February 23, 2010 - 05:08:26 PM »
 I had a major oil filter leak, which left a big black mess on my Hooker Ceramic coated headers. What's the best way to get them looking decent again?
THANKS!!!

I have used brake clean & a nylon pad if it is stubborn

In the past I've used a little orange hand cleaner on a rag with some water and it works great. Than I use a light metal/aluminum polish on the headers to bring back the shine back.
