Quick alum intake clean up.
Just want to take the little corrossion it has on it off, any recomendations? Not looking for show quality; just cheap, quick and clean. Was thinking of some wire wheels. This is a stock TPI intake.

I use Brake Clean for almost everything. I bought a small plastic tote and use it as my parts cleaning bin. I'm suprised at some of the stuff that it takes off. Just spray it on, scrub lightly with a Scotch Brite, then spray it again to get the loose gunk off. It dries off clean and leaves no residue.

I used a eagle one wheel cleaner spray for aluminum wheels,it stated it was for wheels w/o clear coat.i left it on for 1 minute and rinsed off.then did again for another minute. worked excellent,but my manifold was off the car.do not know how it would work with other engine parts. :chevy

I have had a purple cleaner remove the clear anodize off some motorcycle wheels and wash the paint off the tank.
Simple Green washed some blue anodize off some of my r/c racing car parts.
