Blue Can Liquid Wrench For Tires
#31
I've made the mistake of having tire compound in a closed hotel room over night, makes for a bad hang-over like morning...

Yeah, I just like clear water to clean my tires. Simple Green does leave a soapy residue. I also do not like tire compounds but have been known to use off-track stuff if it softens the tires as opposed to the rubber "conditioners" offered now-a-days. So basically I'll use something that permanently changes the rubber but not something that works for a few minutes.n WD-40 isn't greasy if you do it the night before then wash the tires before driving on them.
Do the same with LW and after 5 min no grease or oil .

this is what i'am thinking (might not be true)!!! so if LW dry faster that probably means it's particle are smaller so it get in to the tire deeper/faster and evaporate faster(kinda like water vs alcohol)... so over night before race it might be best to use wd40 (stay in the tire longer) and at track it be best to use LW(get in more of the tire and works/dry faster).

At Trcr can go over night with wd & its performance is still poor.
Personally feel the oil additive LW uses is what makes it perform so well.
All of our faster drivers have
switched over to LW, that speaks volumes ...
Pick up some today, even if you don't like its useful around the house.

I think the way I heard it was the lubricating is for the clay compounds and the penetrating is for super soft?

The yellow cap stuff doesn't smell all that bad. The teal cap stuff smells awful. But works even better. If you can find it...

/\ what he said... The blue cap blue label stuff is the business! However it's just plain horrible to smell and even worse when you have 300 entries and 3 days inside a poorly ventilated RC track... That stuff pretty much trumps everything... They however discontinued it.
