use a metal brush.... that should break up the hard stuff.

you have to use an object, the cleaner will only break it up and not remove it. best way i have found is to wipe down first with a rag. then either spray the buttefrly or spray onto an old toothbrush and get it broken up. then take the rag to it one more time.

Watch out cleaning it, you might get that P0507 ses code like I did. I know there is a problem with cleaning throttle body and the 3.5 motor.

i cleaned a 3.5 tb as well with no issues or codes.

Yeah I love seeing ISC System codes after someone has done a throttle body cleaning and their idle is at 900rpm
Must use CONSULT and perform IDLE Volume Learn, and I think someone has mentioned the pedal method.

Umm... no. You absolutely do NOT want to use a metal brush. A toothbrush, some intake cleaner and a clean rag should be all you need..
