Another thing I was curious about, besides my girlfriend kicking my ***, would anything bad happen if I put the hupcaps in the dishwasher? It seems like a pretty good way to clean them and get inbetween all the little holes around the edges.
I'd go with the extra rinse. Iv'e cleaned carbs in the sink, and rebuilt motors in the living room. All while being married, and I'm still married to the same woman. She loves me.
