Default Cleaning RC Trucks?

Guys,

When you run these cars/trucks through the mud, or for hours on a dirt track, and you get home and realize that they are COVERED in dirt, soot and grim - what do you do?

Questions:

1) Do you just buy an air can / air compressor and blow the crap off? (Might not work for mud)

2) Do you toss them under a light spray from a hose?

3) Take hours using a baby wipe to clean every crevice?

4)Buy one of those bottle RCcleaners that I have seen at Tower Hobbies, etc?

Am I also correct to assume - that once they are all clean - its a really good idea to spray the car with WD-40 - especially in the joints and friction areas?

Lastly - how often should you open your gearing covers and re-grease all the internal gearing?

Thanks,
