Best way to clean LS coils??

I really don't wanna put these filthy coils on my newly installed 6.0 that's all clean. So I took the coils off the mounting bar and they were easy enough, but the coils themselves are a little different. I want to just spray them down with degreaser and power wash them, but don't want to mess them up at the expense of being clean. Any advice or experience cleaning these things up?

If it were me, I'd get a toothbrush, a cup of soapy water and some shop towels or paper towels. Scrub 'em up with the brush and water and then wipe them off in between scrubs. That way you don't over do it with any kind of liquids.

Purple Power, a tooth brush and a water hose. Mine are still running fine.

Simple as that is, I hadn't thought of the toothbrush route. That's a good idea. Thanks fellas.
