battery acid vs. ceramic headers

[cwgreen1971]

I went to start my truck back up the other day and my battery blew up. Now I have spots from the acid on my headers. Does anyone have any idea how to get the spots off without messing up the ceramic coating?

If the acid just stained them, try some Mother's aluminum polish. I have used it on mine before and it worked well.

try the Mr clean magic eraser.. you might me lucky. I used that on my water spots on a few wheels and bumper and it worked great. so if it is still on the surface and not eating through it you might get lucky

The main thing is don't get them hot until you get it off. I can't imagine there's anything that will harm the ceramic coating. Heck,the acid didn't eat it up. I think I'd try vinegar first.

i think a bakin soda bath would b the first thing to wash everything down with

have your electrical system gone over to find out the cause of battery blowup as it is not a normal thing to happen
