Keeping your bodies shiny

Keeping your bodies shiny
Your RC car bodies.
I found some Black Magic stuff (like Armor All) and it seemed to shine my bodies up really well, but I haven't track-tested it yet to see if it stays on and isn't super-greasy. What do you guys use to keep your bodies looking new and shiny?

I clean everything up with water and simple green. Then I put a light coat of wd-40 over everything once the water has been blow off.

I would use black magic if I had the chance. I would say you took the right approach Bobby, because any basic auto body cleaner such as that should be more than enough for an rc car. Easier options are Windex, 409, Simple Green, etc. Pulling the body off the car and rinsing it in warm/hot water is never a bad idea.

Guys use Pledge in oval alot. I've heard it cuts down drag, but I think that was an urban legend. lol

The absolute best ever is Rain-X wipes.
Wash it good with dawn and a SOFT cotton
cloth, dry it off immediately after washing
also with a SOFT cotton cloth and then use
the Rain-X wipes. Let that dry for a while,
then buff really well also with a SOFT cotton
cloth for an awesome shine.
Pledge and car waxes will usually end up clouding
the lexan after several uses due to build up.
