So i take it you cleaned the body itself first with engine off, then proceeded to spray it in with someone revving the car??
Do you guys finish the can off??

Cool.
Yeah the can is massive...
I bought some from halfrauds today...but the ducting they had for a cold feed for my BMC was silver...so not gonna do the throttle body clean till i get some black tubing.
A pic of the can i just took...

Make sure the car is running when ur doin it. It burns it off, you wont have problems with sensors(correct me if im wrong) and you wont flood the engine

Everyone seems to have their own methods!
My plan is to
1) remove the carbon filter
2) Spray cleaner onto a cloth and wipe out the chamber...make it nice and shiney
3) Start the car and get my mate to rev is and i;ll spray it into the guts
4) replace everything

As did I, though you only need to take off the connecting pipe. The rest of the BMC can stay. I got my Dad to rev it on and off for a couple of minutes giving it quick blasts
