How do you clean your nitro planes?
After a day at the field and your Airplanes are covered in nasty oil, what do you guys use that’s safe on monocoat and paint but does a good job removing the oil?

Formula 409 or Fantastic spray and a cotton rag (old t-shirt or diaper) ... NOT PAPER TOWELS! Paper towels can scratch the film coverings if they're not wet enough.

I find it isn't the solvent you use, but the rags. I wipe my planes down with microfiber rags. Can wipe down eight or nine planes with one rag before it is too dirty. Throw in wash, and repeat. I use glass cleaner to provide a little cutting action.

Run down to the local hobby shop and buy a can of PropWash. It works great.

Yup by far the greatest cleaner available. And at only .59 cents a gallon. I quit wasting money on Windex long ago.
