there is no reason to treat yr engine with abrasive cleaners...when there is a better way to clean it...Wheel brightener, degresser...super degresser...more industrial cleaners...they are not easy to applied...but to me safety cannot be compromised...me still a very conservative person...health comes 1st
No doubt the job will done fast...& look well....but is it the best available method for yr preformance engine...esp this M power 380 bhp engine....
..some manufacture company wil suggest....try the least aggressive method 1st.then progress..to me the least ...is not getting a stronger or a more corrossive substance...but getting the job done in another method...eg streamer to loose out the grim & grease that was build up...I am fortunate to live in this age of technology advancement time
