Tbh not sure, whatever the mechanic specified for track use. Best way of cleaning it off- bucket of water? Just want to drive the car home without it combusting.

A mate lost most of his 740 turbo wagon when the brake fluid tank melted/ burst dumping a pretty decent amount of flammable liquid onto the turbo housing. The size and stock location of the heat shields on those 9xx/7xx turbo cars were not the best.
