What is the best product to clean the exhaust oil from an I-C model ?
Im using washingup liquid at the moment but that doesnt rearly clean
but just makes it wet...

Cheers

isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol works good.

On my nitro car, i usually use brake cleaner and compressed air.

Be a little careful, brakecleaner is quite nasty ;)

Isn't it just! I was using brake cleaner to clean the floor in the kitchen
whilst my girlfriend had the lower oven turned on.
You've never seen a fireball like it. No one was hurt but it gave me quite a
shock.
Oh and it makes you dizzy too.

I find industrial hand wipes pretty good the ones without the grit in of
course :-)
