This was a customers car

I lightly "fanned" it with brake clean to help break up the dust/dirt on top then hit it with ZEP, then wiped it down. DO NOT spray a direct stream of brake clean at the plenum, it will discolor the black. You CAN shoot the brake clean directly at the top and bottom of the engine. Just be sure to put something down to catch it as it rolls off the sides. It will leave a ton of CRAP on your garage floor or driveway. I use cardboard.

If you ever have to take it in to somebody for work, they will greatly appreciate the fact that you made an *attempt* at keeping it clean. Promise.
