Brilliant design!!!!

The simple green (half water half simple green solution in a spray bottle) leaves a kind of dull faded look and leaves some residue of the spray behind. The water didn't really clean those tough spots. Either way, i've never got the "showroom new" look all you guys' cars have. What is a good household solution that yields good results?

I use a Hobbywing Ezrun WP SC8 120A speed controller and a Leopard 4074 2000kV motor powered by 4S. I use the stock differential oil viscosities: 7k front, 5k center and 3k rear.

I would really appreciate your opinion and look forward to any clues or ideas.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I use Simple Green and water initially with a tooth brush/fine brush, and then a light coating of WD-40 with a compressor after and it looks like new.

I have 7/10/5 diffs but going to try 5/5/3 to see if it helps calm her down in bumpy corners. Everything else is great, It's been either KYO orange F/yellow R or lt.blue F/green R w/40/35 TLR oil and blue CSI pistons.
