I'm currently using Simple Green and it's making it look dull. So the WD is the trick? Do you mix and out into a spray bottle?

Does the WD40 make things stick to the chassis etc? I find Simple Green dries well and leaves very little residue.

Make things stick? I have never had an issue, i just put a little bit on one of the upgrade brushes and brush the car off, then wipe the chassis with it.

Actually WD makes the dirt stick less. Sprint car teams use to spray the cars down with wd to prevent the clay from sticking to the car. I tried it on my street stock before and it work well.

i use the simple green and wd40 ,about 80 percent simple 20% wd sometimes just straight wd40 but always use a rag and wipe the stuff off after i use car detailer which makes every part look brand new! i use pledge of the chassis and the bodys when i use it on the car it just covers the dirt you have to wipe it...

Got my long chassis from Brent on Saturday. Excellent cutting & gluing done on a brand new chassis. If you need one give Brent a call, you won't be sorry..

Spray with simple green, clean it with a brush then blow it off with air. If you want it to shine do the same thing with pledge afterwards.

No body uses WD anymore ....

Use the green to clean though, very good for that ,
remember finish with Endust ....


How to use Endust or Pledge
*spray on ride
* rub ride down with toothbrush
*use air hose to blow off excess
* finish with a clean towel....


The wax will help your car stay smooth , the Endust works so good ?
Your car
will look just like a brand new ride ...

Commercial line orange scented Fantastic does a great job with no residue.
