I think what he was asking was what cleaning agent you use on the red powdercoat that cleans, degreases, but yet doesn't fade or remove the powdercoat?

i use WD40 on the valve covers it makes it shine really nice and also keeps the viper logo from turning crappy looking

ya i was talking mainly about the red on the valve covers and intake manifold!! So just some soap and water!

Both WD40 and I think the degreaser I linked to have mineral spirits in them. Hence the clean AND shine. Just don't use the WD40 for a rubber or belt dressing.
