Ok, we're hearing from consumer products people use to detail their 914's. What about "special" cleaning tools?
I seem to have a penchant for medical products. There are these things called "blood rags" - you know, the things they often forget to remove after surgery! These are basically made from cotton diaper like material with a string on one corner. They're really great for cleaning in the engine bay & those hard to reach areas because they're thin & absorbant. The more they're washed, the better they get - don't use fabric softener. Another favorite, only used at a show/concours is this HUGE Q-tip that proctologists use (so I'm told). It's about 12" long & perfect for cleaning exhaust pipes (inside). Sort of gives you the view from the other side, if you know what I mean. They're also great for reaching into the rear openings of the rocker panels & other hard to reach areas. Is that anal, or what? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) |

Not so much a product, but when I wet wash the car, I always like to "kiss the glass" so to speak. Meaning that I put my lips on the lower windshield trim between the trim and cowl and blow out the water to the sides that is resting in the glass channel... If I had compressed air I would use that, but for now it works. Suprising amount of water will come out, I figure it will help in the long run in the battle against rust.
