Hey guys, I just got a JDM 98+ header. It looked horrible so I did some cleaning.

Things needed:

Grease Lighting auto/shop remover(Degreaser)
Brillo Pad
Water
30 minutes.

Steps:

1. Spray Remover onto header and let sit for 5-10 minute.
2. Wet Brillo pad and gently with pressure start scrubing.
3. Wash it all off.
4. Apply step 1+2+3 again.
5. Wash again and your done.

End result (not finished in the pic but you get the point)

Bling bling


Closer look(who would have ever thought?)



The bastard responsible for this


The partner in crime and the motive...


Partner together. (Evilness! Couldn't let a beautiful day go to waste.)


And I'm done. I'll post pic when the entire thing is done.

 

 

Yay, you polished metal. Go you.

 

nice! shouldve had a before pic

 

judging from the rest of that oxydized mess, i get the picture. Nice job!

 

it looks nice, but it will rust again. I did it to my header and after a week of driving it came back to the original rusty color. 98ctr

yeah what he said... maybe you could put some sealant or something on it, or just paint it w/ some high temp paint

 

bastard... i'm jealous

 

^^^ it will be back to crap in a week or two.

 

why not get it ceramic coated??
i think that looks hot and it will never rust!!!

 

beauty.. you should get that beast coated though.. as to avoid having to do it again in like.. three weeks.

Good idea guys.. Never thought of that. I'll prollay get it coated then.

 

now go buy some mothers mag polish while the header is off and polish it real good. Don't get finger oils on it before you start the car either, or they will burn and leave ugly marks.

 

Looks good
