I have done that before on a big job and spent way too much time trying to figure out where I went wrong, :-).
I'm a big "of it was there when I started, it gonna be there again when I'm done" guy.

After you rinse (carefully) and dry (leaf blower is fine) you can get a MF towel and spray it with something like 303 Aerospace. Wipe down all of the black plastic with the rag. No need to douse any parts with spray that will make a mess everywhere. I find that it gives everything a nice clean look, without a lot of work, and makes subsequent cleanings even easier. Here are a couple of pics of my cars in which I have done exactly what I just described. (For reference, the VW has almost 90k miles on it.)
Great tips I tried out here today. Did a quick clean and coat on the plastic parts today. Just used a no rinse wash, diluted in a spray bottle. Sprayed plastic parts with this mixture and cleaned off with a rag. Followed with 303 to coat and give a nice shine look, without a sticky mess like other products. Didn't take as long as I thought and looks really nice on all the black plastic under my hood. First time using the 303 stuff and it really is top notch.
Oh, this reminds me. Yesterday out shopping after dinner, stopped at a Sears outlet store just to browse.
Sitting in the parking lot was an effing Murceilago LP640. Just sitting in a space, unattended. Jet black high gloss, blacked out windows. Most unassuming hypercar you'd ever see.
Wyoming license plate, too. Which I guess is weird.
Not my picture [didn't take one, didn't want to gawk], but it looked almost exactly like this
I've been without my truck for a week. It's had a clicking noise on stops and take offs that had gotten progressively more consistent and louder.
Took it in told them all about it, they acted like I was an idiot. (Didn't drop the whole "I'm an ase master tech" line because I hate when someone does that to me)
Four days and three 60 mile round trips and they keep telling me it's normal noise later I answer the phone they tell me just come get it. I told them I would be there in 30 have their best diagnostic guy sitting in it and I would take him for a ride and if he still thought it was normal when we got back I would take it.
Needless to say before we got back he decided it was getting a new transmission and transfer case.
Now they are telling me AT LEAST a week to get one and another week to install it.
I put a transmission in a 2011 last week in less than 3 hours total time.
They had me driving a cruze, and it was not gonna happen so I went and picked out a brand new ltz, asked to test drive it, and told them I would bring it back when they got my truck done.
They weren't too happy but went along with it lol. [Reply]

That's awesome! It'll probably make them work a little faster too. [Reply]
What really pissed me off is that they basically knew what v the issue was (tsb had just came out the week before supposedly) but wouldn't just take my word for it I had to actually make it do what it does. [Reply]
