Default great buggy cleaner and keep clean

Ok, I tried this stuff today on the back arms of my kyosho then ran a tank through it in a really dusty spot and after I stopped the arms were covered in dust and I took the air hose and blew it off, not only did the dust and dirt come off easy the pasltic was still dark black just like I had just sprayed it. Great, great stuff! It is used on atv's after you wash the atv (4-wheeler) you spray it on so its easier to clean and next time the mud and dirt won't stick. It works great on rc's, it sprays on wet, but does not feel oily. Here is a picture of the can and its called topkote finishing spray made by liquid performance I had a customer at my atv shop ask for it so I ordered two cans one for him and one for me to try. I love it and I think you will too, plus it smells great.

I wouldn't use Fantastik. It is to caustic of a cleaner on aluminum parts. I would use denatured alcohol in a spray bottle and then follow up with light coat of WD40.

Works great, after a really good scrubdown and cleaning, I'll be using this from now on, it helps keep the dirt from sticking and caking on so you dont have to clean as hard (saves time if you are a clean freak, I tear down and clean after every practice sessoin and race day). Thanks again!!!!

It might only be silicone spray but i have used wd40 and pledge and with this stuff it takes half the time to blow the dirt and dust off after running. but if you like wd40 then there you go
