Default intake manifold

hey guys. So I've been doing my plenum here and there and today I got the intake manifold off. As expected it was pretty dirty up in the manifold. I have some CRC Throttle body and air intake cleaner that I tried using to clean up the manifold. Its not working out too good. Been using a toothbrush. Its coming clean somewhat but I'll never be able to get in all the spots with the toothbrush. Is there a better way to clean it? I'd really like to know! Thanks a bunch!

If you are talking about the inside , don't worry about it.Spray it down and put the thing back on.

Spray it down full strength Purple Power and then use a pressure washer or take it to a self serve car wash.

For about $20 at a machine shop get it hot dipped and media blasted (walnut shells). **** and span and you're not busting your back.
