Any tips on cleaning old coolant and oil stains off of white, ceramic coated headers? Or are they baked on there for good? ...:rolleyes:
 
How do you know he has a streetrod? Maybe he has a header on his Model A or on his early V-8. The guy asked a question and right away you jump to conclusions and try to run him off.

Yup, what he said.
 
I also use aluminum polish on my silver ceramic coated headers on my non ford barn friendly car:)Unsure how it would work on white.Possibly a lite rubbing compound would work

Headers don't make it a street rod...

My car is pretty well stock but has Red's headers and Smitty's on it, and a Mallory dizzy and ignition. Other than that. As built.

Ceramic, unless glazed, is typically porous. You may be stuck with the stains.

IDK if weak muriatic acid (HCl) would work? Maybe try it in an inconspicuous spot?

I'm a big believer in two products. Simple Green and Super Clean. I doubt if either will help with this particular problem, though.

UH-OH!!! Don't let the HAMBers hear you call them. "Street Rodders"!!!:eek:
LOL!

Are they actually ceramic, like porcelain, or ceramic like JetHot?
I used light Scotchbrite and carb cleaner, then buffed out shiny. ,(JetHot) OMG!
