Default cleaning up cast iron manifold?

I plan on getting a SS tubular manifold some time...but in the time being, I was wondering if I can clean up my cast iron manifold, I just have the regular revhard manifold. What can I do to get rid of that ugly color? Any help would be appreciated.

It shouldn't that I know of, but I think VHT makes something good for like 2000 degrees. You can always get it coated also.
