Hey guys I retardedly forgot to wipe down my header before I fired the car up... it's a brushed SS Tri-y big tube header... and everywhere my hands were it burnt the oil/greese into it... rest of it is beautifully golden... Is there a Way to get it cleaned or is it burnt in now???

 

anything really. royal purple, simple green.. what have you tried?

 

nothing... I'm afriad I'll mess it up or stain it even worse... I was thinking about taking like 1000 grit to it but I just dont know... any other suggestions????

I remember a buddy that had this black can that had "cotton ball" like things in it that he bought at wal-mart... would clean any metal... Can't find it anymore and he's dead... anyone know what it would have been... smelt like turpentine sorta...

 

yeah, it's a type of SS polish. just go to walmart, or napa, or autozone or anything. or even online and buy a stainless steal washer

 

Never-dull most likely. It's got some kind of an oil in it though, I suspect it might make it worse. I think once you get the fingerprints burned on there that's it.

 

honestly, if it were me. id take them off and soak them in hot soapy water.. scrub the marks with a SOFT cloth.. RINSE thoroughly and install it
