Nope...thats not it at all John:
In my experience, one cannot do as good a job with q-tips, brushes,
toothpicks, etc. IF the unit is really dirty. I've spent many hours
doing just as you describe..I've also done other equipment by "washing"
it. I think one uses the most appropriate and effective method
available with regard for the purpose and condition, etc of the item.
We don't have to be judgmental regarding a person's motivations,
decisions, or purposes. We aren't dealing with Monet's here for crying
out loud.
Just my .02 worth.

I guess you could take a classic Porsche, or vintage Corvette through
the $2.50 "Blast O Matic" car wash too... it certainly would be fast
though risky. Most people who own such things get enjoyment out of
spending time with them and don't view such care as an burdensome task.
Just a (last) observation.
