Default Body scuff marks

Quick question.

Now that I painted my first body and took it out racing last night its, as expected, a bit scuffed up from walls and other cars. What, if anything, do people use to clean the body up a bit after a race.

Thanks

WD40 works, Paragon traction compound works, and so does Trinity Body Wash. Spray a little Pledge furnitire polish on a rag and wipe it down after you clean it up and its shiny like new.

Motor or nitro spray works great! Thats what i use.... a little on a rag goes a long way! The label says it's safe too.

Just use denatured alcohol, I'm sure it's something that you already have in your house and it's only $0.69 at Wal*Mart & stuff.

Novus Plastic Polish

It's used to clean and remove small scratches from lexan race car windows, and it works very well on RC bodies.

They have 3 different compounds, #2, the red bottle usually works best for light board scuffs.
