well if you mean you want to clean your buggy you should use an air duster the ones u use to take off dust from keyboards. Dust all dirt off then use 70-90% rubbing alcahol to wipe everything. never use water as it will corrode your buggy

hahahaha awesome.
There are a few ways to clean depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
1. Clean and Rebuild - Take out the radio tray and engine - spray with simple green let soak a bit and rinse off with a water hose, use an air compressor and blow dry good. Then I rebuild the WHOLE CAR. EVERY SCREW
I use this method when Im rebuilding or at a 2 or 3 day race. This takes me about 20 mins. I then go though ALL my bearings, just cleaning them off and reoil.. This is a good time to make sure all the screws are tight and make sure the suspension moves freely as well as the drive train.
Dont use no canned air to clean the dirt, oil and grim off a nitro RC car. Hell 6 cans of air and you can by a compressor.. Nitro and Compressor is a must.
My buggy and truggy is ALWAYS Clean......
I use Kalgard Products and a few cans of Losi Nitro Cleaner.. Dishsoap leaves a residue and collects dust.
RC 70% wrenchin - 30% driving.
