Just how do you do this? I feel like I can never get my brakes (let alone wheel wells) this clean!

some minor updates without pics.

got a new hood pad installed because the old one shrinked bad and started to fell apart.

got a new throttle body when it was in the shop last time because of the throttle position sensor going out of wack. didn't notice it until I popped the hood since on the worksheet they only stated the sensor was changed.

after having separate shop looking at the exhaust they still can't figure out where it's leaking. bringing it back to VRP tomorrow and have Vadim smell it and work on my possible theory where the leak is coming from since the header was installed. haven't driven it much (thank god for the 204) because I'm afraid I'll die from co2 affixation.

HE still sitting on the garage floor...LMAO...
