Detailing tip
Many of you may already know about this, but I tried it just as a fluke...it works great!! O found an old Oral-B electric (battery) toothbrush in the drawer. It works really good for getting into little grooves and corners. I'm currently detailing the engine. Get it a little damp with some soapy water and bang...away goes that dirt you can't usually get to. I bought a few extra tips at the grocery store and can even apply Armorall with it. Pretty slick and REALLY easy.
Just wanted to pass that along.
Oh...by the way...it's the ONLY way to effectively clean wire looms. :cheers:

Re: Detailing tip (emoshn)
I use to save my old tooth brushes for cleaning things, but you have the better choice :thumbs:
I just may have to go out and buy me a new spin brush and retire the old one to the shop :D

Re: Detailing tip (emoshn)
That's a great tip. I have an old electric toothbrush sitting in a bathroom drawer. My dentist told me not to use it. He didn't say not to use it on a car though. Perhaps I will pass this on to him. He has a C3!

Re: Detailing tip (emoshn)
I wondere how a water-pik would work? Seriously, it might not be a bad way to rinse out what you loosened with the toothbrush...

Re: Detailing tip (emoshn)
Glad everyone liked it...the water pik is terrific idea...gonna go get one. For those really tight spots you could use engine degrease and then water pik it. Great idea!!!
