Default keeping headers clean?
I'm not looking to see myself in them, but I was wondering what ya'll use to keep your stainless steel headers clean? I got some LPP's and they could use a good cleaning. Neverdull, mothers stainless steel polish...?

I coated my dynatechs so they would stay looking good. A good polish should make them look good again.
