The Ford Barn

Hey Y’all,
Got a question and maybe the only people that can answer this are those who like to keep a clean motor.
I am running an engine with an aluminum intake and a leaky Holley carb. This combination it has caused gasoline to stain the manifold various shades of brown in places.
I am not going to remove the manifold (but yes, I AM fixing that carb) but I do want to clean the brown stains off it.

So, what product do you use to clean the brown gasoline stains off of your aluminum intake?

Granted, I should have cleaned it sooner rather than let it buildup, but dealing with cancer makes one put off some things.

What is your ‘it works every time’ solution?
