any-1 polish there jdm itr header?

was thinking of giving it a shot tomarrow, was gonna use 800 and 1000 grit paper with some aluminum polish, my header is pretty brown/rusty but figured id try it before i just wrap it in header wrap'

any-1 have pics, tips, or anything'?

im gonna go by the how to: posted here that some-1 did on there dc header', gonna spray it with brake cleaner as well to get a bit of a bronze color to it'

 

wont let me delete thread but i did some searches and found all the info i needed'

sorry for the thread'

ill post my pics/results sometime mid next week'

 

well actually heres a question for ya

if i polish the jdm itr header and coat it in wd40 and then re-install w/gloves

if i ever wanna wash my engine bay would the header get all messed up from gettign water on it an/or soapy water etc? Is there a way to keep it clean afterwards? I know it cant be touched by fingers or the oil will dis-color it, just wondering how you go about spraying down your engine bay after the header is polished. Id imagine the wd40 layer would come off if you use engine degreaser in your car as does pretty much any-1 whom cleans there bay out'

 

only way to keep it clean and bling is after every 6 months to take it off and re-polish it again

 

damm, well if i wrap it is there a good way to keep that clean?

id imagine just light water and scrubbing would work on header-wrap, only thing i dont like about wrap is that its gonna rust my header...but thats just a good reason to upgrade when that happen's, ive already got the wrap just liked the bling'd header look better, how-ever seems like more hassle then its worth for some-1 who rarely pops the hood and never go's to car show's
