That is an idea! Never thought of that! Yes..all good, just dirty. Won't shrink them in any way with the high heat?

Dishwashers are great for parts and rims, just use crud cutter. use the pot scrubber cycle. Just don’t let the Mrs see you do it. Lmfao

Back in the mid-80's when I was restoring my 70 Hemi Challenger, my wife came home from work to find the black wrinkle finish paint on the rocker covers curing on low heat in the kitchen oven. Didn't prove especially popular, but both the rocker covers and the oven were just fine in the end.
