Thought I'd change my mirrors today. The originals were needing a respray.

I first scrap out most of the gunge with an old hack saw blade, then spray inside the manifold with Oven cleaner left for about a couple of hours or longer depending on how long you have, after that I jet wash it out until it is clean inside.

Sometimes you may have to do it again or even a couple of more times all depending on how bad it is in the first place, hang it up to dry or blow it out with an air line.

All the rubber seals must be removed and wipes clean before refitting after the big clean up.

Remember also to remove the MAP sensor before any cleaning takes place good luck have fun Arctic

Just had enough time to get a wash in before darkness fell tonight...no doubt it'll be covered in dust again by tomorrow.
