Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Clean F40? I'm not offended :)

[E M (pokiebaron]

Steve,
It's the only way to keep any sports car.  If I only have time to do a
little cleaning after a run, I will give the engine a wipe down, and maybe
the wheel wells.  I usually get to the body last. Glad you enjoy the F40,
they belong in the hands of ppl like you.
