Just so I am understanding this correctly, more an assumption now after reading around; If I order an old model, am I actually choosing the Mold and not the TPE formula, because I swear the 164D has been on catalogs for a year or two now. So do I have "old" TPE or am I ordering the Mold and they use "newest" TPE to cast it?

Its a little late, I read the Newly Wed guide, gave her a squirt bottle shower, bought a shower stool to seat her(cant stand her) and give her a shower, thanks for the note about the temperature, I read that 40c+ is bad.
I've only given her a squirt-bottle-shower and that's where these white "flakes" are from, the water is warm to cool (20-25c/68-77f).
Should I be rotating from soap water to just water? is Soap-Water + towel the only requirement, I know soap leaves behind the residue when dried, isnt that bad for her skin?

I just wipe her down while she stands on a large plastic trash bag to catch any runoff...When I finish, I pat her dry and stand her on a dry folded towel for a while to soak up any moisture that may have gotten under her feet. Trick is to keep her vertical until completely dry as water doesn't typically run uphill.
Thanks @Babel99 for asking and @Mr Franz, was searching this on the forums, "how to wash her vertical when she has standing feet"
I still cant get her to stand, very disappointed in 6YE for not warning me about the Weight and Ball-joint combo making is insanely difficult to stand her, Any Tips? I have her seated on a office chair with wheels (:D) so I can take her with me around the apt, installed rollerblade castor wheels so its nearly silent!, but I paid the extra for the standing feet because, hell yes!, but I straighten her legs, work on the hip as it is the toughest joint to bend, I lift her 101lbs/46kg body (struggle, she's going to be the reason I head back to the gym and lose this beer belly haha) get her on a foam mat as not to scratch the wood flooring, she stands 1-second then a knee buckles due to her weight and I need to catch her so she doesnt get damaged in any way. Seriously is there a method to this? just depressed that she's crippled.
