Great way to clean your UIM

[RXtacy]

So I had read a while back on the other forum about a guy using steel wool to clean his UIM. Well I had my UIM to put on some block off plates, and troubleshoot a few things so I decided it would be a good time to give it a good cleaning. I went to Lowes and got some course steel wool, as well as some medium steel wool. I started off with the course and finished with the medium. Finishing with the medium definitely gave it a little bit more shine. I must say I am very impressed with this method. However, I would not suggest doing it with the UIM in the car because steel wool shards do get everywhere, and I would not want them sucked in my engine or alternator. Here are some before and after pics to show the difference.

Before... I know not a great shot but it's all I have.
