Hey guys
I bought a new header tank a few months ago, as mine had cracked and was brown. Now it's starting to go dull again, and I've seen a few different cars with really clean tanks except the very rear of the tank, which makes me think they can be cleaned still. Does anyone know how I can do this?? Thanks Aaron

Paint works great! Then just take the cap off to check your coolant level. You'll never ever get it looking brand new again so I wouldnt even waste my time.
Its up to you if you wanna try but I wouldnt expect it to work too good. Now you can prove me wrong too! ;)
