How to clean an RC car?
Thorough and regular cleaning of your RC car is an essential part of its operation. This is even more important if you drive off-road. Keeping it clean will ensure a long lifespan and perfect condition for immediate use whenever you want. Furthermore, you can proudly display your model even in your living room, because a shiny car is simply a joy to behold.
1. After a drive
A proper off-road drive means a lot of dirt. Your RC model is covered in grime and needs cleaning. Don't postpone maintenance until "eventually". Mud, in particular, is always easier to remove when it's fresh. You'll save yourself a few curses and be ready to run anytime.
2. Cleaning aid
For maintenance, we recommend the specialised ULTIMATE DIRT-OFF product, which is safe for plastic, rubber, and metal. In addition to its perfect cleaning properties, it also has an oil component for lubricating moving parts and protecting against corrosion.
3. What you will need
All you need is a cloth or paper towels, a brush, and a cleaner. If you have a compressor on hand, even better. The air stream will help clean hard-to-reach areas. To avoid having to clean up your workshop afterwards, it is better to move outside.
4. Apply the cleaner
Simply spray the cleaner on the dirtiest parts, such as suspension arms, shock absorbers, etc. It is better to avoid electronics, but a little stray cleaner will not harm them.
5. Let it work
Use a brush to loosen stubborn dirt. ULTIMATE DIRT-OFF dissolves the debris, making it easier to remove. If the dirt has already set in, you may need to apply the cleaner once more.
6. Use a compressor
After applying the cleaner, you can use a compressor or compressed air. This will blow away both excess cleaner and dirt from creases that you can't reach with a cloth. Tweezers can also help with unusually embedded dirt.
7. Final wipe
Wipe all accessible parts with a cloth. The model is immediately clean and ready for further action. Lubricated parts shine more and also collect significantly less dirt than those without protection.
8. Result and recommendation
The difference is noticeable at first glance. The car shines with cleanliness and works like new. We recommend regular maintenance with ULTIMATE DIRT-OFF, thanks to which the model will last you long hours of fun and will always look as good as new.
The last thing needed to achieve perfection is a thorough body wash. There are no special requirements here. You can do this in a sink, shower, or under a garden hose. Just rinse the entire body thoroughly. If there is dirt that won't go away, use a sponge or a cloth to help it. Be careful not to scratch the paint job.
