How often do you give your car a FULL cleaning?

thats only a part clean anyway. ii do that after every race
removing the cnter items off the chassis and cleaning under them only akes most people 15 minutes
to me a full clean is pulling the car right down. removing the diffs and all bearings. pulling the car down to nearly kit form and soaking the parts overnight in simple green. then soak all the screws and metal parts in shellite.
i do this once every 2nd or 3rd month

After every race/practice day. I don't like working on a dirty car either and if deffinatly helps when looking for worn part/issues. Some of the guys at my track give me a hard time about how clean I keep my cars...

I try to do it after every run but honestly if I only did like 2 tanks of run time I'll just give a a light clean but if i do a race weekend like the JBRL I clean it fully after each day and inspect it like everyone says a clean car is a happy car plus removing dirt helps you find problems you would otherwise miss.

It's not hard. Just take your time the first couple of times, and make sure you don't strip any screws out. Use a good pick to get the dirt out of the screw heads before you try to remove anything. Also make sure to use loctight in the correct areas when you put everything back togather.
