OK so basically my intake manifold has loads of black spots/marks on it which will not shift, I'm assuming its grease and other bits of dirt build up. Ive tried pretty much everything I can think of but nothing seems to work! :bad-words: :bad-words:
If anybody has any tips which would help that would be great :-D

P.S would have uploaded a picture but i couldn't see a add attachment option :scratch:

Looked like new after doing it. I brought a PRC inlet and done it off the car before fitting. I kept at it and got a little edge off the rinkle look.
