Cleaning the engine fins

[Ayrshire Dunx_imp]

Hi team

The engine fins are starting to get blackened round the edges now but I am having severe trouble cleaning it up again. I don't want to get in about it with a wire brush as I am assuming it is silver paint and not bare metal.

I am guessing I sprayed ACF50 too liberally on the hot areas and it has carbonised.

So any suggestions on getting it back to silver?

Many thanks everyone!!

By own experience, there is only one safe way to get rid of excess ACF50 ... a hell lot of water. How much ? Half an hour or more from your garden hose at very low pressure. I am afraid this requires not just patience and a hose, but also careful covering of (m)any parts, like cables, injectors, etc. in the neighborhood which you don't want to be hosed. For sure the paint (if in reasonable condition) should not be affected.
