I woul say, "Don't!" The metal is quite thin, you need to maintain the close tolerances in the injector ports where the seals are located and you certainly do not want abrasives or powder in the fuel runners. Give it a going over with wet and dry and a lick of matt black paint. It's pretty well concealed by the manifold anyway.

 

Best wishes
