[titcharoony]

Im wanting to clean up my inlet manifold nice and shiny, whats best? De greaser wont cut it, so sand blast? I was hoping theres some over the counter chemical I can paint it with that really wud strip it of its grime and oil etc. any ideas?
was wondering if theres some stuff like acid or something, if so, where wud i buy it

Stuff like Gunk (tm) will clean it of grease etc, but wont make it shiny.

Gunk hasnt worked, just cleaned off the top level of grime, need somehing stronger?

need to take it to a garage and pay them a couple quid as a kind gesture to use their de-greaser bath, dont breate the stuff in tho, has made me sick on one occasion!

will it really do the job? its pretty grimey.

Yeh it will clean anything up, they spray industrial degreaser through a stiff brush and i have always managed to get anything i have put in there completley grime free!!

Just dont breath it in too much, i was up the whole night after just puking up green stuff and all i could smell was degreaser, not nice

ok ill try an average mechanics? Do they do it or u?
