...what do you use to clean your valve covers without smearing or ruining the crinkle paint? i used simple green, non-diluted on a small portion in the back and i rubbed it a little, looked on the cloth and saw it was reddish, so i stopped because i didn't want to **** up the paint.

so what do you use?

 

that's what i used too and stopped cause i saw paint on the cloth, i tried carb cleaner and it worked pretty good. just don't rub too hard.

 

use simple green with no problem . just added a good amount of water ..

 

do you remember what ratio you used?

 

the ratio doesn't matter, just add a lot each.
