I have my blower and intake done in a shiny chrom-like powder coat now and I was wondering what was the best thing to clean it with? I already know it can get some light scratches without much effort :oops:

Treat it like you would any fine paint finish; gentle car wash, light polish and a good carnuba wax.

I figured, but is it ok to wax a blower and manifold? They do tend to get on the hot side.

Sure you can; I have an 871 on my big block '55 Chevy and I waxed it often, no problemo.

Alrighty then, that worked out pretty well. I'll have to get some pictures when I'm done in the engine. :mrgreen:
