I used a Soda Blaster.
It works amazing well and the left over soda dissolves in water and washes away. Especially important on the hood with all the crevices.
An additional befit is no warpage. You can water blast and there is very little dust that way.

The biggest downside is keeping the water out of your air. Definitely the biggest downside. I have an inner cooler and after cooler and a tank drain. Nothing worked except a large Desiccant or a refrigerated air water separator.

So before I removed the water from the air I spent a lot of time unplugging the system. If it wasn't for the water issue I believe Soda would be more popular than it is.
