Anyone else meticulously clean their BBK and coils?

Or, am I the only one?

I think of it this way

If I had a BBK, i'd def clean it. And while you're there....no one likes dirty metal that should be shiny

Approved for sure!

I definitely would if I had BBK or coils haha. I'm meticulous about my stock wheels and take them off and clean them inside and out whenever I detail the car

I always jammed my hand b/w wheel spokes to clean my retrofitted Akebono calipers on my G35 whenever I washed my car. BBK's look so purttyy when they are clean! Too bad I won't be doing BBK's on my e90. The wife does not approve.

The wife does not see the benefits.
They are very costly, though.
