Default Exterior Header Collector Cleaning

From my long history of cleaning chrome/stainless header pipes on motorcycles and now on Cobras- there is no way to keep them "like new" but did fine a way to make them really nice and living with some patina.

First step- clean with Goof Off the liquid in a spay bottle used for cleaning gummy surfaces. Let Goof Off work by letting it do the work with a good five minute soak

Second step- rinse with water and dry

Third step- Use a Clorox Eraser pad with a little bit of water. This will take out some of the discolor and cleans to a nice feel.

Fourth Step- using your favorite metal polish for the sparkle shine. I use Mothers Metal Polish

Without being said, cleaning is done on cold pipes.

Have only used this method once so let me know if it worked for you or other suggestions are appreciated.

Best,
