steve Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thicker stuff can be carefully scraped and wire brushed, Carb spray isn't too bad for final cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I use a very fine burr in a drill to remove the carbon, when you see alloy move on. Very quick and easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
