Had my inlet manifold powdercoated and when they blasted it before hand it has left some residue inside.

I obviously don't want this to go in my engine, so what have people who have perhaps had this problem done to clean it?

I don't have a dishwasher.

First thing that came to mind was several tins of brake cleaner to run through it so it would evaporate.

Dunno
