VHT Clear Coat on Chrome Headers

I'm in the process of cleaning the chrome headers on my X. After a lot of elbow grease and Autosol they are looking pretty good. I was wondering if there is any way to coat the headers to protect them. There was a lot of fine rust pitting on them. I noticed that VHT has a high temp header clear coat. I would imagine it is meant to go on top of their colored header paints. I was wondering if it would stick to the chrome and would it dull the finish? Any thoughts, ideas , experience.

Thanks

 

Best way to keep chrome clean is elbow grease as far as I'm concerned. S.O.S. pads, plenty of sweat and Autosol or other chrome cleaner. I think if you put the clear on you'll end up with a bigger mess to clean up later. Just sayin'.

 

Soda is supposedly the best chrome cleaner (says mythbusters!)

 

Got more info, is it easier than elbow grease? :wink:

 

Also when storing the bike for the winter, I use rust check(in the red can) and spray it on a rack and wipe down the exhaust. Cleans right off in the spring and keeps the rustnoff them in storage anyways. Other than that mothers chrome polish is good too.

Man, I don't know where you buy elbow grease, it seems like everywhere is out of it.

 

That's because it can't be bought.

Except maybe in third-world countries.
