well, i have cleaned two, both ways worked great. First is carb cleaner and tooth brush for the inside, lots of scrubbin then soraying with water, and a scotchbrite pad on the outside. Sandblasting the outside with mild grit media works great, then high temp clear. I also took one along to the car wash to test out their "TIRE GRIME REMOVER" selection on the ****. I sprayed that inside and out on the mani and then went and washed my car for 5-6 minutes. When I had about a minute of time left I put er on wash (HOT SOAPY WATER) and got right up against it and removed all the ****. then rinsed with the regular rinse setting. Worked better than the carb cleaner did and had a decent shine. I still hit it with scotchbrite pads though and rinsed with garden hose. Sorry I dont have pics, I deleted em from my comp cause i never used them, and right now my cam is bein bitchy

Buy an aerosol can of paint stripper (Home depot, auto parts store). spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and rinse it off with a hose. You won't even get dirty.
No need to scrub, you might need to do it a couple of times.
