Last time I was at the track for some reason my vacuum pump over flow tank sprayed oil all over my freshly coated fenderwell header. Any Idea on how to get it off. I tried brake clean with no success.


Thanx 451 Guy

Mother's Mag Wheel Polish worked for me on small areas and may need several applications. I've heard that "Never Dull" works as well.

Had the same thing happen a couple of years ago. Bob George suggested oven cleaner to me and it worked.

I've had great luck just with a wet soapy sos pad.

PM Mike Hynes (THESHAKERPROJECT) and ask him what he used to clean up my coated TTIs for me. They were pretty bleepin' disgusting, and now they're waaaaay better looking. up

Oven cleaner. Works like a charm and no elbow grease required.

I used Wizard's metal renew on mine and the oil wiped right off (baked on from the Dyno and a couple track days). No discoloration at all. Make sure they're cool.

Careful with the Easy Off, don't leave it on there too long...

Fast Orange hand cleaner works very well and no nasty smell..TTI even suggests using it on their headers.
