Default How to clean off my fast 90 intake?

Am reinstalling my fast 90 and it looks a bit dirty. What is best way to clean these off. I should get it painted and cleared bet it would stay a lot cleaner.
Oh well maybe do that over the winter.

Is brake cleaner safe on the fast..

I would say no brake cleaner. There are 2 flavors of brake cleaner and 1 beats the crap out of plastic.

Simple Green is amazing stuff, the new formula is bio-degradable and works on anything (including a bathroom shower stall!)

concentrated simple green - let it soak for a while, then scrub her off!

Brake clean worked fine for mine, just get the non-chlorinated version or simple green as stated by others.

I use Purple Power that can be bought at Wal Mart or about any auto parts and that is what I use to clean my tires and rims when I wash it to. I buy it by the gallon and it last qute a while.
