Rough Aluminum Intake Manifold - What Type of Cleaner Recommended ?

[CJ from Granite Bay, CA]

Looking for suggestions on what to use to clean my intake manifold on my boat. The intake manifold is not the polished type, it is the rough aluminum.



Thanks

I`ve heard good things about http://www.heavymetalpolish.com for all kinds of metal polishing

1. I`ve spot cleaned oil, grease, air filter oil, etc., with brake cleaner on my BMW`s brushed aluminum motorcycle engine block. Works fine but doesn`t really polish it up bright. Evaporates fast and gets a lot off.



2. Wire brush and Kerosene gets brushed aluminum clean and shines some too. BMW R75/5, engine block and valve covers. Not sure if that`s practical for your purposes and situation. That`s my 2 cents.

Oh yeah, Rolite, available from TOL, is also another aluminum polish

Eagle One used to make a cleaner for non clear coated aluminum.
