Re: cleaning aluminum intakes

When using the Scotchbrite pad, you create a little aluminum dust and if you do not use the water/soap rinse, you just end up smearing all around. The water helps remove it. The hotter the better.

Re: cleaning aluminum intakes
I do this technique,but prefer to use COLD water.
Using the Warmer water seems to make the material more Malleable,& smears it around to much. I also have had the Green scotchbrite pad colorize the manifold a little.I switched to the less abrasive WHITE scotchbrite pad,and use more elbow grease. Just my experiences.
