I Pull the Engine and Pipe, the radio tray, (15? screws?) clean it with fantastic spray a variety of brushes, sometimes water, add some compressed air, some wd40 on the bearings, some more air, carfully clean the removed componets the same way, just mindfull of over saturation in sensitive areas.

Spay her down with Lemon/Orange pledge, some more air, thowing a shop towel rub down to avoid spots... A quick shot of nitro clean or denatured alchol to the brakes and clutch shoes...reassemble, make dirty again...

Every three or four race weekends, a more through teardown, clean,inspection takes place..same basic process.

If I work to much I use the "JD " CASE N CLEAN...

Show up with Dirty buggy from last week..
put on track, Find largest Double /Triple jump
Proceed to jump just under the speed to clear chosen obstical, case it..

Inspect chassis for residual dirt and assorted fungi, Repeat as nessesary until a satisfactory level of debrie has been removed...
