coramprat said:Ok...did this today. My secret is I followed the instructions of the 1st post. Light water spray, DILUTED Simple Green (about 1 oz. to 7 oz of water). Spray with water and then SG again, and another spray with water all with the engine running. Came out EX-cell-leeent.

I had this same problem. Then some guy told me to use MAG Cleaner on my aluminum and Its real hard to spray on something and not splash somewhere else. and I got it on some plastic and it bleached stuff . Just curious. Did you mix the Simple Green with some water? 1:5 Ratio?cold96snake said:Okay, tried this s/g method and it worked okay on getting grease off, but now theres scaly (like dandruff) stuff on my plastic and rubber parts, i could peel some of it off and scrape it off w/ fingernail. also a light corrosive look on rough aluminum parts. polished aluminum intake cover looks great though. wiped a little pb blaster on alum. parts and that worked good but can't reach all parts. nothing seems to take off scaly stuff. don't think engine ever been cleaned before. Is scaly stuff just a buildup of grease/wax or protectant or what? do i need to let s/g soak longer to get it off? I was thinking spraying cold engine parts with pb blaster, let it soak for a few, then rinse, spray s/g to get off oily residue, rinse again. don't want to use protectant cause it would probably attract dirt. help!

That white residue on the black plastic over the radiator is what i can't get off. I see it on yours, too.jason1320 said:I used simple green and mine got pretty clean. I didn't have a lot of time to get in there good because I had to get down to the track. Here it is...
