I agree. Will look at that closer. Yeah, I'd love to spend a day at the shop with a jumbo box of Q-tips and cleaning products. A small bit of my arsenal:

Don't detail it, it will be dirty in less than 6 month (if you drive it). Just give it a good scrub to get the oil off.

Nonsense! Mine stayed spotless after I dropped, fixed all leaks, detailed, then re-installed it.

Toilets stay clean if you never use them too.

I'm pretty sure he details his tires too, the tread side.

A true enthusiast details the inside of the tire. The side where the air is.

Ah ignore Niche. He went bonkers one day when he dropped by and I was wearing magnifying goggles and using a needle to pick off a small debris spot from the targa vinyl on one of my 914s. He even dry-wipes dust from his car. It gives me the ******* every time I seem him do that.

Someone want to give JayG a heads up that in the next week when I post about my new Forest River Cayenne that I know it isn't a Cayenne? Or just let this one play out naturally?

Aren't you supposed to wear a diaper while you wipe the dust off? Or is it use a diaper to wipe the dust off? I don't recall. Maybe that's why the "*******" which is better than getting a "stiffy" while he does it. This thread has reached an all time low.

Yeah, that's the problem with these "intermissions" while waiting for things to progress with the motor.

Unless it's your Prius. You can do whatever you want to that. Not worth the cost of the cleaning products.

Your drivers license should be suspended for that. The bug problem is what kept my 996 off the road much of the time and well below cruising speed when it did come out.
