Oven cleaner?
Now that I have your attention.
Came across this video on cleaning your intake with oven cleaner.
Anyone heard of this method. Looks quite thorough.
I'll be giving this a try this weekend. My new EGR cooler should be here Thursday. So, I'll have it apart and clean the intake while I'm at it.
Tell me whatcha think?

Just go get some Extreme Simple Green® Aircraft & Precision Cleaner.
Industrial | Extreme Aircraft Precision Cleaner
You can find it at pilot Supply shops. Grainger supply and Amazon.
Runs about $29 a gallon and is aluminum friendly. That is what I used on my
intake and it really cleaned it up.

I started using it fo a lot of my hard to clean stuff after the one time I was cleaning
a small jet with a very dilute spray and a hot water pressure washer. I was shocked
how little work it took. I think I only had to brush around a few spots the stuff works
very well. I also found that on the plastic hood liners that Ford puts in the Rangers
clean up very well by spraying it onto the liner and letting it sit for 5 minutes and then
just hosing it off. The liner looked like new after that. All the sues and stuff that had sprayed
the liner over the years was gone. When I had the intake off the truck a few years back
I sprayed the inside with undiluted and then let it sit for a while before sticking in a
large aluminum tub I have with it full of water and cleaner. I let it sit and soak for a few
hours and I think it would of worked faster had I dropped a pump in to move the water
around, I used the pressure washer and to keep from getting any splash back I wiw it all
under water. By the time I was done the intake was nearly spotless.

Yeah, I too was a long time user of the old green stuff for under hood, dirtbikes, etc., until Sean pointed out how it oxidized, or attacked, the aluminum. Making new stuff look old pretty quick.
I bought some of what he recommends at Amazon....

That's all I use. We are talking about a thick piece of cast aluminium intake manifold here. Not bare aluminium panel of an airplane.
