Does windex removes all the oil mess in the fus from the muffler?
I tried two types of cleaners but none removes the oil easy.
Then I used alcohol for general use from drugstores, but I'm looking for something else.
The search tool in "magazine" doesn't have anything about this as far as I searched.

Yub, yub, cmdr!
I'm in Medway! Right down 495 from you.
Nilo,
Did you click on the yellow search box. I entered cleaning your airplane and found a ton of great info from imixing your own exotic cleaning solutions to using windex or 409. One of the most common that I think I will try is a 50/50 solution of denatured alcohol and water with a small amount of dishwashing detergent.
Good luck.

Thanks, that was actually posted by me before, but nobody was answering so I lost it. Seems the feedbacks came up and that's all I need.
Thanks,

RE: How do you clean an airplane?
The solution that works best for me on glow fuel that is a castor/synth mix is windshield wash fluid mixed with bit of alcohol. I use the blue paper shop towels, they hold up better than kitchen towel. If the plan's not too messy then the baby wipes work well....

SIMPLE GREEN is a non toxic biodegradable product that works. Straight METHANOL works,and is relatively safe. Any detergent degreaser sold at auto parts stores works, stay away from solvent types that can loosen decals and covering
