Is there any way to clean my headers to prolong the ARMOR coating on them???

i have just seen pics of peoples engine bays with rusted headers after a while and i dont want mine to end up like that.

Is there any cleaning or protecting stuff i could use that is heat resistant????

thanks

 

anyone?

 

Ive heard soapy water.

 

What's "Armor" coating?

If this is some kind of ceramic coating you can shine it up a little with fine steel wool (maybe 00). Shine it too many times and you might not have a coating but I know a couple of show car guys who do this.

If it's paint then I don't know. Have em' coated.

LOL, ARMOR is pacesetters trademark name for just............ceramic coated, so yes they are ceramic coated

 

Jet-hot recommends soapy water.

 

yea if you store your car at all (especially outside), soak them in WD-40 -- BUT before you start it back up, rinse it all off really well. I did this with a car once that was only driven in the summer, after 5 years there was never any sign of rust (of course regular cleaning during the warm months as well)

--Some tell me WD-40 was bad to use on ceramic coating, but i've never had any problems. might wanna wait for more info on this..

 

ooooooo, nice.......thanks....i will look into that

 

ive had my hookers for over 3 years now and after scraping the lts on bumps and dips my coating is starting to flake off on the bottom of the headers... im not gonna have to worry about holes in the headers now am i?
