Im not quite sure if im in the right thread? But here goes.
Inside my engine where my CAI is, there is this dirt buildup...From afar, it just looks like dust that's not cleaned off, but when you touch it, you can tell that the dust seems like its crusted onto the intake itself. I tried a lot of things, but i cant seem to get it off.
What do u guys think it is and what can i do to clean it up???
Click on "Engine Bay Cleaning" and you'll find a lot more information there in terms what you can use. With that being said, I would suggest using a solution comprised of Simple Green and water, and spray it on the crusted area. Let it soak for about 3 to 5 minutes and then use a brush to scrub the area.
^^Thanks. but i think i read somewhere that simple green is potent for the paint. the stuff is on my cai (Blue) im worried that simple green might rub the paint off? what do you think?>

Oh I see what you mean. Yes, Simple Green can cause discoloration but there are many reasons as to why it can cause it. The mixture between water and Simple Green, how long you let it set on the paint, how hard you scrub, etc. You could try a small test area that is unnoticeable and see if the solution dscolors the paint. Start at a 25% Simple Green/75% water mixture and increase the Simple Green if you want.
You could use products like Orange Blast, which is a milder house cleaner. Again, mixing it water is fine as well in order to bring down the strength of the chemical. Always try on a test area to see if it'll discolor the surface first.
^^Thanks ill try that out. ill tell you the results as soon as i see em
