    Ruined my HKS SSQ :(

    Don't ever, ever spray carb cleaner on an HKS SSQ. They're coated in laquer which keeps them shiny. Mine's no longer shiny. Gutted

    Yeah, it won't polish up now no matter how much elbow grease I use. Might be an excuse to get it powercoated so long as the covering isn't too thick.. or perhaps spray it in high temp paint.. Hmm... a matt black SSQ... tempting...
