Default Help Polishing DC-4-1 SS header

What is the best product to use to clean/polish this header? Has anyone else done it?

use any metal polisher. i know snap-on makes a few that work realyy good. get the one in a tin can that looks like cotton candy. if you are trying to change the color from blue back to silver then forget about it. once it is blue it is no longer stainless steel. stainless is the best heat disappating metal for headers. once they reach about 800 degrees they turn into another metal. but any metal polish works fine.

Word on the street is Eagle One Chrome Polish will bring you from Blue back to silver.

I tried some random chrome polish, it made it a bit shinier, but nothing dramatic.

My header was a bronze-purple color before I use the Blue Magic metal polish (available from walmart/k-mart)

Here are the results: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/carnumber.../Greddy+Header
