I was retarted and didnt clean my fingerprints off my MMW Header b4 running the car. now i have quite a few ugly marks on the top of the hearder. looks very bad at shows.

I have been told that i can get them out with a stainless polish. Can anyone suggest a specific polish to use. and is there any other way then good old elbow grease to get them out. ie: is there something i could put on my cordless drill that i can use to polish it out more efficently.


thanks

 

You can get stainless polish at appliance stores. It is used for Stainless Steel refrigerators. I have seen some ball like polishers at car parts stores lately that look like they are made for drills. Good luck..........

 

its not going to happen. those prints are baked into the header, but i wish you good luck anyway

 

the ball thing that your thinking of is the mothers polishing ball. its made for polishing wheels but i don't see why you wouldn't be able to try and use it for the header.

its worth a shot to try and polish them off with it. if it doesn't work you still have a ball for your wheels.

good luck.

 

hehe anthony....

here's a solution

buy a turbo!

 

Yea,

i was in a hurry and forgot to wipe down my mmw header also and there finger prints on mine also and a whole bunch of other ugly marks.

 

soap and water

 

Ya i have been told by a few people that it is possible to remove the fingerprints and get the header looking good again...just takes a lot of time...I just have not been able to find a stainless polish to get the job done

 

mothers polish, a rag, and elbow grease.

 

get it thermal coated and call it a day?

 

I have an alphawerks header and the only way to get those prints out is to use 2500 grit sandpaper and wet sand the header. I tried diffrent polish and cleaners none will work. Use sandpaper.

 

Sand papers gonna be it bcuz the prints are baked in man!

 

I read that fast and it sounded like "the ball that your thinking of is your mothers polishing ball. its made for polishing wheels."

after i overthought what the hell you were talking about I reread it - and its the "mothers" polishing ball. ....not your mothers polishing ball.

 

anthony i know a guy that could hot coat ur header for 75 bucks, any color you want. He is doin my turbo manifold.

Campo's Hot Coating in Wallingford.

 

toyota_scion....did you have the same issue and you used sandpaper...if so was it just regular sand paper, and did u just soak the paper of apply water while sanding. How long did it take to get the prints out..and how does the header look now(and scrach marks from the sandpaper) ...if you have and pics that would be great...and thanx in advance for the help.

Alex...i really like to polished stainless ...sop thatr why i am waiting for last case sernario to get it coated...thanx though

 

Use 2500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and use water to wet sand the header to remove the marks. It will take a little time to do this.
