First time I got burned material on my header was with fake nylon sheepskin material that melted all over my pipes and muffler. After I put my eyes back in my skull I got to work. I cooled the header pipes and mufflers with water and brought out a 1" metal scraping tool, a flat bladed screw driver, 0 steel wool, 00 steel wool and 0000 steel wool as well as Wenol polish for aluminum and other metals. Surprisingly, the ceramic coating was pretty tuff stuff with all the careful chippping and scraping I did before rubbing and rubbing with the steel wool and a final polish out. 90 minutes later....done.

What I learned at a later time and another occurance with a plastic product is to immediately cool the header with a towel soaked with cold water and quickly chip off the material. It practically flakes off. The immediate cooling and subsequent scraping has saved my ass as well as some club members. Haven't tried the Harley shop chrome cleaner stuff.
