Default Polishing Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Headers

Anybody have any suggestions on a way to polish my ceramic coated headers? Tips, techniques, or other threads that might have these.

Has anyone ever tackled this project before? If so, can you post some pics of before and after.

are you referring to polishing them to clean them? chances are as soon as you start the truck whatever material you use to polish them will just haze up & they'll look kinda shitty afterwards

My powdercoater says you can just use Mother's or any other aluminum polish. I've never tried it myself, but he says it works.

This might be true on a GOOD quality finish.. I do not think it will work on the finish of the PS headers

Are you trying to say something about PS quality?? Lol

Besides, we don't know for sure if he's working with some old ratty clapped-out rusty ones or brand newskies right outta the box.

Basically I just want to clean them and get all the blemishes off from the last couple years. I see an article the said use WD-40 and steel wool to get the blemishes off, then hit it with some mothers aluminum polish, and wash them good with some soap and water and then dry.

I'll give it a shot and let you guys know how it goes.
