I spray on WD40 and then blow and wipe off with compressor.

A long story I can't get into here, but it sure made a big hole in the ground.

Apparently, many fellow R/Cers use this Simple Green product. It is mostly unknown in Europe, so I went check the website. It does contain water, alcohol, a buffer and a chelating agent. Looks safe (I'm chemist).
I thought water wasn't a good idea, for the bearings and the steel parts, but if many of you use it with satisfaction I will look for something similar (instead of nasty solvents).

I remove my electronics and hose the whole car down. Then completely tear down car and clean with simple green

Stiff bristle large brush to knock off all the dirt.
Isopropyl alcohol (leaves no residue and usually evaporates faster than I can get to it) and toothbrush then air compressor.
Lightly spray with SC1 and then air compressor again!

Looks like new!!!
