dont put it in the dishwasher just put it in a 3-5 gallon bucket or hot water and some simple green(read back of bottle for amount of water and green to use) then let it sit for a while then take it out and scrub it with a hard plastic bristled brush then hose it off blow it out with compressed air and maybe even use some metal polish on it to make it bling
