Heads up on the Chrome Cleaner!!!!

[Dave8338]

Just cleaned up the pipes on the bike yesterday with some of NAPA's finest Chrome Polish / Cleaner... and after a twenty minute ride around the lake, the F'n header pipes now all have an ugly tint of brown to them! Prior to that, the were as bright and shiny as new.....I'm pi$$ed, to say the least............................................. ..............

get some Blue Job header cleaner. It will remove it.

After cleaning, try using carnabura wax.

headers painted

The PO of my bike had spray painted the headers on the bike with silver spray paint. He told me that it is high temp spray paint. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this off and be able to polish the chrome underneath?

Thanks,
Dirk

Well if he did what you should do to get the paint to stick, your chrome is most likely ruined... Or atleast require quite a bit of sanding/polishing to get it look nice again. Knowing the time and frustration of trying to polish up abused chrome, I'd say look for new pipes.

Get some paint remover
test it on an inconpicuos area of chrome pipe
then walk it ont he silver paint

dont sand it or even try and buff it off
