How to clean procharger pipes?

[ProStang01]

I've tried everything and they will not come clean. My next step is possibly spray painting them with ceramic engine coat so if anyone has any suggestions on that it would be appreciated.

Couple pics of the blower pipes.

what happened to them? Mine are still glossy gray as the day I bought them. You spill something corrosive on them or something?

Looks like some salt damage, live near the sea?

Nope when I bought the car it was like that. But I did notice under the battery box paint has peeled on the frame and a couple spots on top of the strut tower paint has peeled like the battery exploded. Not sure.....

Not near salt either...

I had mine powder coated. No issues.

Looks like someone used something caustic to clean the engine maybe and damaged the finish on the pipes. I know if you don't cut Purple Power correctly, it will destroy aluminum and other castings finish.

Powder coat them and be done with it and be careful what you, as the new owner, use to clean them with.

Or wet sand the pipes down with some 1000 grit to a 1500. Mak'em nice and shiny!

I powder coated mine too, now I just wipe them clean with a neutral product.
