Getting rid of the black

What's folks recommendations for getting all the carbon and
shite off the head?
Or is it just a case of elbow grease/wire brush/swearing?

alloy wheel cleaner is good - follow instructions - its acid !
but dont clean it up too much - could reveal too much
if you havent got any land round mine ive got a few - used to
deliver it :)

Forget all them fancy cleaners ...... just stick the head in the
dishwasher :thumbs: use finish tablets for best results and
jobs a good un, easy.

Got caught by mum trying to put a carb in the dishwasher.
And trying to Solder my radiator together on the hob like my
uncle taught me.
My life wasn't worth living.
Ps don't leave a cold chisel /spanners in your overalls and put
it in the washing machine, Ours has a cold chisel in the bottom
of it, and some fibreglass painted silver with holes drilled,
Mum doesn't know, But it could probably do with painting silver
again whilst shes on holiday next week.

Brass cup brush on drill for the carbon, brake cleaner and rag
for removing oil/degreasing.
It does make it easier if you pressure wash first - the wheel
cleaner would be good for that.

Thanks for the suggestions lads.
I would be allowed to use the dishwasher as a parts washer (my
missus got a compressor off me one xmas and loved it) Just that
the potential for fucking it beyond repair has to be a
consideration :haha:
