Rust on ceramic headers

[68CamSS]

Anybody know a good way to remove light rust that has formed on ceramic coated headers from winter storage?

Have you tried it on ceramic headers? I experienced this same problem over the past winter. Looks like blemishes, perhaps some sort of polish will work?

Most of the ceramic coated headers that I see on cars at shows are showing rust. Mine went the same way in the first year. When we bought our '69 Chevelle in 1997, it had the high heat black painted headers. Still on the car. Not as nice looking as ceramic coated but at least I can just take them off, blast them and repaint when they need it. I've never had to do it yet. Perhaps the aftermarket coating companies do a better job than what comes on the factory headers.

I agree on that. The factory coating that comes on Hooker Headers (it actually doubles their price) looks terrible after a short while. I'll stick with spray paint from now on.

My Hookers started rusting after about 2 years. I just had them JetHot coated.
