I guess I'm careful. Never had an issue with etching. Interesting to note guys. Thanks.

I would have tried the etching but I did not have any at the house so I went with what I had.

I have used that as well and with great results. Recently used it for my L78 intake. Dan, don't the instructions say to rinse throughly with water after it soaks and not to leave it to dry? That's why I would have never thought to use it while the intake is installed, thinking it would make a mess and run onto painted parts. Just wondering how you do it..

And some of us don't follow directions... ha!

Darren, spray a little on the steel wool and apply where needed. Thats how I've done it for minor touch ups.
