Hey All,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me remember a product I discovered recently. I forgot the name & have come up empty trying to find it with the Google machine. Anyway, it was a cleaning spray that's safe to blast your entire car with to clear out debris & gook that's collected in nooks & crannies. It is intended specifically for R/C vehicles & you don't even have to dry it! I came across it while looking for a motor/bearing cleaner, and if it works, would be a gigantic time saver.

Anyone heard of this particular product or something similar?

Thanks!

I don't use anything specific for RC cars but Simple Green and Compressed air has served me well.

Is that stuff like Moo Slick? I am generally very lazy about cleaning the clay/dirt off my cars from the track except for knocking off large chunks.. figured I would try and find something safe and easy that doesn't harm other parts.

Do you put the body on and spray down the outside? or do you break the car down and treat the parts?

Edit - meh never mind I won't really bother with it, will just stick with the basic knocking stuff off and wipe with a rag.. maybe get some dry silicon spray to put on the rag.

for portable compressed air get a small barbecue size propane tank and install a short hose with a air nozzle... simply get it pumped up and keep it in your pits.. use a small brush of some sort for the chunky stuff of your car and then blast it with air from your tank...

I use no-stick food spray on underside of body.. ( just the wheel well areas )..

greatly reduces the dirt sticking to underside of body on damp days.. ( during a race )

when I get home.. I just dunk the body in a bucket of water with a little liquid dish-washing stuff, for a few minutes.

works for me.

Any brand of furniture polish spray works great, spray it on and let it soak for a few minutes to let it work it's magic then blow off with compressed air, car looks better than new with a protective film that is less likely to attract dirt later.

I used to use Simple Green but it tends to get into the pins of the arms which will cause rust to form and prematurely wallow out the arms, don't have this problem with furniture spray.... I buy the cheap generic spray from WalMart for $1.88/can

I use WD-40 on my 1:8 buggy that I drive on dirt.
Spray some WD-40, wait a minute, then I use the air compressor to blow the dirt away.
Works for me.

I pretty much take the battery off the car and douse it with Simple Green and immediately spray it with compressed air. It makes the car like new. I honestly was doing what alot of other people were doing with like a soft brush and rag until I did my first off road race and I sat right next to the track air compressor. Then I was like oh man...so that is why all of your cars are mint condition. Haven't had an issue with it getting in the electronics either but with the compressed air it goes on and sprays off instantly. No need to use a soft brush or anything. It is also really great for making sure suspension is super clean.

Anyways though. There is multiple ways to skin a cat and each has its pros and cons.

Simple green to cut the dirt and grease, paper towels and compressor to get clean, furniture polish to protect and shine.
