I have a mopar M-1 intake that i just port matched & was wondering what some of you used out here to clean it & make it look nice again. I really don't ant to bead blast it if someone has used a product that really works good.

I used Simple Green barbecue cleaner and a nylon cup brush on my drill. Simple Green and a high-pressure rinse really gets a lot of stuff off with not a whole lot of effort.

Might be too picky but I'd tape up the ports/flange if glassbeading to keep the beads from possible embedding in inside crevices then heat releasing them later on

Eagle One mag wheel cleaner if you can still get it.
This was what I used , bought it within the last 6 months at Advanced auto .
I bought some yesterday morning....for a few manifolds I got from the swap meet.
Not as strong as it used to be from ages ago (but what is here in CA anymore) but still has abit of bite to it and cleaned them ok.
