This stuff works. I was getting quite annoyed at the bluish purple marks on my header caused by installation without gloves. I tried everything and couldn't get it off. After reading some of the recommendations from other members, I finally got some blue away (really difficult to find in Canada for some reason). Most of the stuff wiped off immediately, while some spots required a little more elbow grease. My header is almost as good as new now and it has that golden shine again.


note: Blue Away could be a little abrasive if you rub it repeatedly. I didn't know that at first and I dulled out a small part of my header. I also stinks like crap and costs quite a bit for such a small bottle

 

can Blue Away be purchased at any type of car stores?

I don't think so; I've tried looking everywhere.
You could find them at some golf stores or motorcycle stores

 

does this stuff work on oem itr 4-1 header?

 

Blue Away can be bought at most motorcycle dealerships. They use it for pipes on bike's. I have some at the shop I work at. There is also this stuff called Blue Job that we sell as well and I hear it works a little better but I havent tested it yet. Its a funny name and it even has a set of lips on the cover. It is a little abrasive like you said so dont rub too hard or you will scratch your header.

 

Wanna setup a group buy on the blue away stuff?

whats the best way to use it, if it is going to scratch?

 

I too can attest to this stuff working very well It takes a bit of elbow grease and some time, but it will eventually turn the header completely silver again. Of course once you run the car for awhile again itll turn goldish color. Ill take some pics this evening.

EDIT: I got mine from http://www.golfworks.com

to prevent it from scratching, apply more of the blue away to the surface...this causes less friction and abrasion

mires: I would be totally interested in GB if you ship to Canada

 

i've been trying to find this stuff forever, it works wonders! It was shown to me by an oldschool biker .

 

I would also be interested in the GB purchase if we could get one going.

A groupbuy for a $10 item may be pushing it!!

Ha...ok, I was under the impression this stuff cost about $30. Thanks for the link. I think I will just pick some up from there!

 

I have called a few places... I cant find this stuff local in toronto.

 

WENOL works good too.

Much easier to find too (Canadian Tire)

so I can find WENOL in Crappy Tire? Auto section?

 

I said Id take a pic, so here you go. I dont have a before pic, but go outside and look at your header and if it is gold and purple and all gross looking, thats what mine looked like before the polish. this is now, and it should turn nice and evenly gold once I take it for a drive or two. I also used it on my radiator and strut tower bar so I can enter the local kaa showz now

with no flash...

Try a golf store!!

 

I got mine at Golfsmith, it was $9.99 I think. Too bad I dont have the header to use it on anymore.

 

Didn't anyone tell you to Windex your header before you start it up the first time?

No, no one told my mechanic that.

Thanks for the helpful advice though. I'll pass it along.

A. who is more impressed with the "actual" performance numbers than how it looks.

 

Look for WENOL in hardware stores.

It should be near silver polish (the stuff your Mom uses on her good silverware), Brasso and steel wool.

Looks like:



Works great - very little rubbing needed - but the cloth gets black fast - so use lots of clean cloths.

Clean with windex once you're done.
