Two cold feeds either side of the induction filter.
Is slightly different from the norm but works well and sounds good

i would have just gone to a petrol station with the hot wash and gone over it! it'd bring it up spotless and save you messing around whatsoever. failing that a steam cleaner at any garage would bring it up like new

seriously, they take the hard work out of it
