I posted a pic of the microfiber towel I used so you guys can get a better idea of all the dirt that came out of them. The backside of the microfiber has an equal amount of grime too. I did notice that car idles smoother and the revs don't bounce as much when I come to a stop.
Hate to bump a thread that's a year old, but I can't find an answer as to whether its ok to take the TB's off the car when cleaning them or not. A lot of the info I can find is from the G35/37 group and some of them have issues with the idle after messing with the TB's.

For those of you who took the throttle bodies completely off the car to clean them (best way to do so imo) were there any issues afterwards?
