This depends on:

  • What its made of
  • What portion I am cleaning
  • What I am cleaning off
  • What I am cleaning it for

Plastic housings are wiped only with a rag only! If that won't do it needs replacing.

Aluminum or cast iron:

Gaskets get cleaned off with a scraper, CAREFULLY!

Hose sealing areas get cleaned with a rag or if needed a piece of 600 or 1000 grit emery cloth

If I am cleaning on the car for show, aluminum gets polished with neverdull (brand name)

Cast iron gets cleaned at install and clear coated

Plastic just gets auto paint polish
