Jonny555 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Remove the engine and radio tray. Give it a good wash, spray with GT85 and then wipe that off. After racing I use a power jet washer to clean the buggy. Some people use the kitchen sink and some use the dishwasher, although it's recommended you ask before using the dishwasher as an angry woman is not a pleasant experience. If it's been some time since the diff oils were changed then it's a good idea to change them whilst the car is stripped down. They maybe working fine, but the oil will get contaminated from general wear of the gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy the Saint Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Pledge and an air compressor works for me and smells even better than gt85. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Gt85 with the straw attached then you can get it into the hard to reach areas. Give it all a good covering then hang it to drip dry for a couple hours then give it a wipe over with a soft cloth ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
