Well just bought some used Comptech Stainless Steel header for my 01 CL-S. I guess the previous owner had them on for about 10k miles. Well they are in great overall shape except for the appearance. I have an appointment tomorrow to have them installed, but of course I have to clean them up a bit before they can go on my "Autopian" car. Looking around the house I need something STRONG becuz these headers seem reaaallly dull and almost black like the inside of exhuast pipe would get.
First I tried Mothers Mag Polish with some improvement but still didnt refinish the metal like I wanted. THen I tried some AIO which did about the same or less improvement that the Mag Polish did.
Looking for a stronger alternative I found under my mother's kitchen sink this stuff called "CARBON-OFF"
"Heavy Duty Carbon Grease Remover CARBON-OFF is a powerful gel that dissolves grease and carbon buildup from metal surfaces, teflon, brick and glass. Carbon-Off works quickly and easily saving time and labor. SAFE ON ALUMINUM"
"Removes Baked On grease adn Carbon from Metal surfaces deep fryers teflon popcorn kettle barbecue grills.....etc."
Well the directions say to apply a "generous coat" to the surface and let sit for at least 15 minutes or longer depending on the buildup. You can even let it sit over night and it wont harm the finish.
Well I decided to give the stuff a try to see if it works better then the mag polish and AIO. So far its been sitting for about 15 minutes but i will wait a little longer.
Any one else have any expierence with this product??

Well i just tried brushing the product off with a steel brush and it ended up improving the overall appearance more so then my previous two methods but it still isnt back to its orinigal luster and color. Oh well since you cant even see them when installed I guess it doesnt even matter.
