Yup. Good blast with the pressure washer can do the trick

Id recommend removing from the car first though and drying it thoroughly before refitting

Unless you're going for stage 2 power then I wouldn't bother.

It really does depend on the power you are going for, a stage 1 map will work fine with your standard SMIC. That kit will need your bumper to be cut in order to fit it.
