Ceramic coated headers begining to rust.
I thought these things were bullet proof. I have 2 sets of recently installed ceramic coated headers and both sets are getting a rusty haze to them. One is a set of cast iron manifolds I got done at Jet-Hot and the other are from Ford Racing. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a polish or cleaner that will bring them back yet not damage the coating?

Yeah, its called strip the old coating off and have someone redo them properly. Most "ceramic" coated headers are just a ceramic based paint that has little durability. Good ceramic coatings are a heavy coating of ceramic power that then gets glazed on under intense heat.
