How to get oil stains off ceramic headers.

I have jethot coated headers. Took a little more off but not all. They don t recommend any cleaner except warm soap and water and this will not remove the stains. I tried one spot and it was a pita.

Wipe down tubes with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth dry thoroughly. My expensive hooker super comps are ceramic coated and a dripping oil pan has stained them. After header installation and before engine run remove grease and or skin oils from the header tube surface. We used to do this with our r c cars pipes after a long main event.

I used some of those brillo pads that are basically steel wool with soap embeded in it. These areas are prone to rusting as most coatings are unable to get between the tubes in these areas during the coating.

But the brillo pads worked great. Stains fingerprints will show when header gets hot. The anti freeze loosened it up nicely and normally you could get the pipe looking good as new.
