do you think it would be ok to use my dremel tool to take out the blueing on my headers? I was gonna use the brush tool but I didnt know what effects this may have for me

Use the scotchbrite attachment instead of the wirebrush. It works quite well though mine come out nice when I just use a green scotchbrite pad by itself.

Do not use a mild steel wire brush on stainless steel it can deposit mild steel onto the surface and begin to rust. Helpfull tip i hope.

I use an old tube sock wrapped around the header 360 degrees and then use metal polish. You just pull back and forth on both ends of the sock and it gets the header clean all the way around.
