Ok, a real question. How do you get dust out of all the small crevices and angles inside of the car? It seems like there's always some left.

I find the china bristles to be gentle and soft so it won't scratch the delicate surfaces such as the clear on carbon fiber, painted areas, navi screen, etc. The trick is to brush the seams and follow with the vacuum nozzle to pick up the dust you just loosened. You can use the brush to get inside the vents, in between the seats, around the shifter boot, in and around the instrument cluster, etc.
Once you've done the interior dusting and vacuuming, a good follow up would be a simple wipe down with an interior detail spray like einszett Cockpit Premium. Simply spray cockpit premium on a soft microfiber towel and begin dusting the interior panels. You can use cockpit premium on leather, vinyl, plastic, navi screen, etc. For cleaning of surfaces that need more attention, use Autoglym Interior Cleaner/Shampoo.

I have a legitimate one, do I still get to advertise your business for free with a hat/shirt?
Recently I added TechArt sideskirts to my 997. I bought them from another forum member so the double sided tape was no longer there. I used clear silicone and for the most part it looks flawless.
Some of it oozed out while drying and it's driving me crazy. What's the best way to get rid of it without damaging the paint? Thanks for your help!

The silicone goop needs to be removed mechanically. How do we do that? VERY VERY carefully. You need a very sharp exact-o knife and the hands of a skilled surgeon. You have to be very careful to use enough pressure to scor the silicone but not the paint beneath it. Since the bead of silicone has hardened, it shouldn't be too difficult to remove this way. I hope this helps answer your question.
