I usually just pull the tube off the front of the throttle body, and use brake clean sprayed on a rag, and wipe the TB from the front side. Its faster and has no risk of damaging the TB gasket by taking the TB off.

Just be gentle when you pull the blade down flat to reach behind it, and to clean the back side of the blade.

I average like 18mpg but I just hate putting that many miles on it, want to get rid of my '05 and get a car.

Or what you mentioned looks good also..... http://www.autogeek.net/chemical-guy...nt-finish.html
I know Lava and Pete's 53 are two of their popular waxes over on Autogeek's forum, haven't used them myself personally yet. I don't know if I would be using them for winter protection though.
