Default How to clean...

My intake manifold is getting pretty funky, it has crud on it that I cannot get off.

I've used carb cleaner, i've pressure-washed the ------- thing. Any other products I should try?

Pull it off, and take it to a media blaster, and request that it be glass beaded... it'll be niiiiice and clean after that... also, you should either clear-coat it afterwards, or get it clear powder-coated. If you take it to a powdercoater in the first place, they'll bead blast it for you... just some thoughts.

I don't want to go through that much trouble, I just want to spray something on it and make it look half decent. I will be scrapping it for a billet aluminum version later when money allows.
