Cleaning an Intake Manifold

I just got my skunk2 intake mani, it was used, but is in good condition, just needs some cleaning. I was wondering what the best way to clean the inside and outside of it is? What should I use? Thanks guys

3 cans of carb cleaner should do it.. maybe get a big *** round wire brush too.

be sure not to scratch the surface too much with a wire brush..also an old shirt can help to along with a wooden dowel or screwdriver to run the old shirt through the IM runners to soak up all carb cleaner and deposits.. i successfully cleaned my IM with 260,000 miles on it and made it look like it just came from honda.
