A little carb cleaner for the engine and a little muratic acid (6M HCL) on the headers. Careful with that acid. Use gloves, goggles, and a resprirator. It's pretty harsh.

Exactly right raceready. I've been using simple green for about 10yrs now, and its the best stuff out there. You can use it full strength or deluted, and it won't discolor/damage your plastic or aluminum. Top notch stuff!

I thought I may have figured something out before everyone else did but I guess I was wrong.Simple Green or Mean Green is awesome.It's my number one product around the house.
