Default Questions about cleaning IC's -- both inside and out....
Obviously, the cleaner the IC the better the heat transfer. While swapping out the hoses, I fairly easily remove the IC. How can I clean the inside? Just a water flush? Simple green? Car wash? Acetone? Alcohol?

Is a soft brush, soap, and water alright for the outside.

Thanks for any help.

Acetone wash. Don't inhale vapors.

Also, are you replacing all of your hoses (Samco?), how hard has it been?
