Will this come clean?
 

Thinking about buy this... but it looks dirty. Think it will come clean. BTW it's a CTR strut bar if anyone wasn't sure

then?

the better question is what vc finish you have and how you can get that with plain metal ctr bar

factory wrinkle red

I hope your valve cover doesn't match that.

Re: Will this come clean? (sc4dr)
 

the wrinkle red matches... obviously not the dirt, hence why I want to clean it

Re: Will this come clean? (95civicdx)
 

Your only option is to strip/sand it, and repaint it with red wrinkle paint.

theres no way you will get that to look good in its current condition.

Sand blast it, then refinish it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

yeah dude, dont pay to much money for that thing, its the exact same thing as a usdm integra gsr strut bar, and 99-00 civic si strut bar, the ctr one is just painted with red wrinkle paint

either get that one for a good price or buy a gsr/si, get some aircraft paint remover, strip it, and repsray it with red wrinkle paint, it will look good as new, and match your type r valve cover perfect

Re: Will this come clean? (95civicdx)
 

like every one else said if its a good price go for it if not just get a different one and paint it
