Current method is to use some Harpic toilet cleaner (it's an acid) on it to remove the brown muck. Use a brush paint it on, leave for a few minutes, wash off. Repeat if necessary. Then polish using sovol and a drill.

... because the manifold bracket has almost completely evaporated at the top (you can just see in the photo). If I don’t replace it then it will soon be in two pieces and not secure the pipe into the head,
I’ve acquired (for only £20 delivered) a much better header pipe, which has cleaned up very nicely on the bench (with Harpic - it may have been you that told me about it in another thread) and has a solid manifold bracket.
I don’t particularly want to do this job, but I think I’d better as it isn’t going to get any better.
