Default stained intake/plastics underhood
so someone who shall not be named (female in nature) thought it would be smart to spray the intake and plastics with wheel cleaner before hosing down the engine bay..... this happened... any way to fix this with a chemical and some elbow grease i hope? any easy ways?

Did it eat the plastic? Try light grit wet sanding? Might have to repaint, excuse to get the intake powder coated?

Go get some Mothers VLR and try it. Also can try Mothers back to black. Spray it onto an applicator pad and wipe it on.
