Default Most Difficult to Clean

Having owned my TC for a few months in nicer weather I have noticed a few places that are difficult to wash/clean.

I would say the two worst places on mine are under the spoiler and the door sills since they are exposed to the elements but not to my hose with the door closed.

Speaking of which what techniques do some of you use to clean your chunk of automotive awesome?

Wash it up really good, use the Sham Wow to dry it off, LOL!, then use a clean towel with some spray detailer on it to clean the insides of the doors and htach. Don't forget to hose off the engine bay!

Like everyone else said, just use your wash mit when washing the car to wipe down the door sills. Then close the door and spray the water into the gaps around the door to wash out the dirt and soap.

no hard spots really, it's just a pain when I dry the whole car down and then forget about opening the hatch prior to that.

(Sham)Wow!! What a bunch of winners!!

As for cleaning the car; use a leaf blower to dry most of your car. Works great!

our car is so easy to clean! Our roof is made of glass, that is one less body panel we don't have to dry, wax on a regular basis. Right after the initial wash when I'm drying my car I take a California blade and dry my glass. Then dry my car with a leaf blower works wonders!

Always do a full detail every time I makes washing your car easier the next time IMO.

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Shlomi told cops he paid [Sasha] Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit...notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face.... After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the [hotel] lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse.
