I was just wondering if everyone is still using this on their stock manifolds.
 I have been using it and have been real happy with it.
Calyx Manifold Dressing

Anything new or better on the market?  Any better ideas?

I use it on anything that is cast iron on my vette.  Looks real good.

Thanks, steve

Do the manifolds need to be super clean the first time when appling it or can you have some slight surface rust?  Looks like a good product.

I bought some along time ago and it worked real well. I just am not good about putting it on every spring but it does hold up and no you do not have to remove the surface rust first. It is a paste and wipes on with a soft rag.

Steve, this is supposed to be good, but  if you like what you got stick with it... http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=732&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=exhaust%2Cpaint   Here is another one:   http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=733&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=exhaust%2Cpaint

I use the POR 15 manifold paint on projects with stock manifolds, and last good

We carry the Seymour High Temp Cast Blast in aerosol cans.  It too is easy to use and lasts a long time.

Hmmmn, great thread Steve! Thanks for this information.... I have contacted them with a few questions. It looks like a great product!

The manifold dressing stuff looks good but some don't cure and can dress YOU when working around the manifolds. Check that out first. I', a big fan of the POR15 products.

Thanks everyone and for the different ideas.   Really apprec.

One advantage I think I see with Calyx, I was able to put it on without removing the manifold.  I used my finger to apply and "work in".  I used a wire brush to prepare the surface.   I paid 16.95 + 5.50 S/H about 2 years ago.

I will try to take a picture.  Anybody have pictures of the other products actually on their manifolds?

Good stuff I use it. Just FYI it works well on the bottom half of that old ugly master cylinder too.
