hey Guys

I was out cleaning the car today with some armor all wipes and was wondering would these be safe of RC cars? My Rustler is due for a cleaning and I usually use Simple Green but thought these things would work just as well[8D]

plus it would be easier to throw these in my toolbox when I head to the field[8D]

cheers guys

Wouldn't it be hard to reach on the tight spots?

JerB

Yeah I never thought of that [&:] maybe just for the easy to clean spots like wiping off the body, ahh well just a thought

i've heard of people using the armor all cleaners to clean tires back to new shine. forgot which one it was

I use son of a gun tire cleaner it's the same as all of the other one's it just keep the tire soft and it does not dry out. I wash them with a wet rag first, and then apply the tire stuff and you are good to go. Tires cost so much that if you don't take care of them then you will be buying tire's more often then not.

I use WD40, keeps them slick so that the dirt fly's off and softer too.

I use armor all on all the plastic and rubber on my cars. Helps keep the plastic from fading as they get older.

I also use Armor All. I don't use the wipes I use the original liquid stuff.

Good ideas.

My Feedback: (16)

I stopped using WD-40 as a cleaner because it is a solvent, so it causes plastic to become brittle and crack, and I had an A-arm break on me. I think I'll try Simple Green though.

spray it down with tire shine of your choice...let it sit a few mins and use a air hose and blow it clean/dry...will look like new

forgot to mention this type of "cleaning" should only be done between tare downs...I use my cleaner at the track and do the above between every heat I am anal about my stuff looking good...every friday night the whole car gets tore down and cleaned/inspected

I only use Denatured Alchol Solvent,
its a little expencive but its safe of electronics.
I use this and an air compressor.

I put all the parts in an empty plasic milk jug, soak all the parts in dawn dish soap diluted with water for about an hour to get most of t dirt off, then empty the jug and put the parts back in it and spray the parts with armor all and let them sit in armor all for 15 minutes. I know it sounds like alot but believe me it turns the parts to like new shine. I hope that helps.

WD-40 is not going to make dirt "fly off." It makes it stick.
