I wonder if the ceramic coating guys, the  kid brother uses for the drag car 
headers, can do anything with our parts.  
That leaves a slick surface that adds some  tiny bit of ponies.
I'll let you know.

Those of you that don't want to handle some of the corrosive chemicals  one 
could use to clean 2 stroke headers and ally pipes, my friend Gary  showed me a 
nontoxic method that anyone can use. Why didn't I think of  that?
 
Dip the header or pipe in warm water with some dishwashing liquid and  then 
take a Brillo or SOS (steel wool with soap) pad and scrub it. It  surprised me 
how quickly and easily it worked. In ten minutes I had both the  header and 
pipe cleaned, and the header especially was caked pretty good  with baked on 
oil. 
 
I used the new Brillo with Oxy Action, but I think either will work  fine. $1 
for 5 pads at the local WynnDixie. 
 
Then worked the typical polishing with Brasso metal cleaner, and after  about 
20 minutes polish job, pipe and header look better than when  new.
