Keeping the road dust off.
Heres a few pics of the nice clean car.I've been asked a couple times how it stays so clean so heres what I do.For hard to reach areas such as the shock threads I use automotive brake parts cleaner which is made to wet stuff down so it doesn't spray brake dust all over..which is really bad to inhale.It also is made to evaporate really quick and leave no oily residue cuz thats no good for brakes.On the body...I just sprayed the whole thing down with Orange Blast...which is an automotive/shop degreaser,and rinsed it with warm water under the shower in the bathroom and dried it off with a towel.It took all of the nitro fuel and dirt off without any kind of wiping,just spray on and rinse and dry it with a towel.Stuff like the engine is where I use the brake parts cleaner but I wouldn't spray it on the servos or reciever,I wipe those off with the Orange Blast on a rag.I also take alot of it apart to clean it and make sure I get between all the little parts.
Denatured alcohol is supposed to be really good but I just don't like the fumes...I use it at work all day to clean metal to prepare it for adhesives and I'd rather use something else at home.The brake cleaner has some pretty bad fumes too so I don't use that for much other than where theres nitro residue in hard to reach parts,and the brake disc.
