Could you tell me how you cleaned it? What did you use? I've heard to do it at the car wash, is that right?

About a year ago, I used one of those cleaners you spray on when the engine is warm and rinse with a hose. To finish it up a few weeks ago, I used Simple Green and a tooth brush. Just be sure you don't use the same one you brush your teeth with. That's nasty!
