When I first picked up my CB, after about 30 miles or so I noticed what looked like someone had sprayed some thing on the bike and had got overspray on the headers. The headers were clean when I picked her up and she only had 3 miles on her. Today I picked some Mothers polish and tried it out.

After some elbow grease I was able to get them looking pretty good.

Down low on the header pipes was a little burnt on crud, so I used a green scotch-brite pad lightly to get the crud off and used the polish.

I'm getting ready to cruise around the roads here by the house. Will see what they look like when I get back. I know they will still turn colors, but hopefully the spots will not come back.
Hope this may help someone else out there.
