Andreas, you need to move to a place where the sun shines and you drive in the winter... or I fear you may go the way of Jack in the Shining.

All cleaning and no play makes Andreas a dull boy

Honestly, those pics only represent a fourth of what I intend to clean....

I just showed the latest 2009 Andreas Cleanapalooza pics to my 5 yo son (who has a bit of a car parts cleaning thing too, which I have already exploited) and he said:

"wow, that is clean.... are there any videos of him cleaning?"
me: "oh, I really hope not"
5 yo: "why daddy?"
me: "go ask your mother"

You have inspired me! I didn't even know there was paint in the wheel wells. Are there any certain cleaners that you have used that you could share the names of? I have scrubbed and scrubbed the wells but still cant seem to get some of the road grime off. I am starting to enjoy winter time cleaning, it is rewarding!

Too bad about losing all that protective Cosmoline and grime. Your car is sure to become a rustbucket in a year or so.

Sort of like all those rust-bucket 993 GT2s.....

You've got me inspired to tear my car down to clean! Especially the mating surfaces on the wheel hubs where they contact the back of the hollow spokes.
