Default RE: Cleaning discolored pipes?

Blue Job does remove the blue from your pipes without scratching. The only problem is the blue will come back unless something is done to reduce the heat, or insulate the pipe. I did a set of pipes on a Bonneville and used another product called Kreme. It is applied to the inside of the pipes and baked on (I put my header pipes in the oven, the wife loved it). I did two coats of the Kreme and have not had any rebluing on the pipes.

Curious Jackusan, how did you manage to apply the Kreme throughout the interior of the pipes? My other ride is a bonneville, and the blueing keeps returning after using blue job. Wouldn't mind giving your suggestion a try.
