Default Best tool for Cleaning a Throttle Body?
I've heard not to use a tooth brush as it may mess up some type of coating on the TB. I've also heard that this "coating" is only on Ford's TBs. Some recommend a microfiber rag.

Suggestions?

Throttle body cleaner, a toothbrush, and some rags has always worked for me. From what I have been told you need to use throttle body specific cleaner. That is the important part.

I knew to use a spray, I'm just concerned about what to actually use inside it.
