looking to give my intercooler a clean but not sure of the best way of doing this as dont want to damage it.

any advice please.

cheers

We would soak it with a citrus degreaser (P21S Total Auto Wash or Meguiars Super Degreaser), and then agitate the product lightly with a soft brush or microfibre mitt, being careful not to damage the fins. Then rinse using a low pressure hose and allow to dry. :thumb:

FWIW, I've decided that the only way to get the main body (rather than the fins) of the intercooler clean is to remove it and then wire-brush or wet sand it, followed by metal polish. I did this to the strut brace and it came up a treat.
