My SLPs are supposed to be Stainless, but they have some surface rust,I just let them be.
I would jsut generaly clean them with some Brake Parts Cleaner, then WD40

i need to clean mine on the cude, there off right now and there has been a slow coolant leak on the passenger side that drips on the header. so the header looks nasty. burnt coolant.(black and grean) i need to clean them for shows becuase the hood is open and they stick out. any other suggestions on how to get them clean?
