what kind of header? ceramic or stainless cuz it depends on the header as some chemicals can affect the finish. usually after the plastic cools off you can take off most of it by hand. the rest will have to come off using stuff like 3m bug and tar remover or 3m wax and grease remover. same thing happened to me and i used wax and grease remover after removing what i could by hand and a plastic scraper.
