More detailing tips?, Odd materials Options

[Pat Garvey]

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)
