Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / January 2004Cleaning: Another Newbie Question
Hi People, In my on road gas car, under the body shell there is the usual coating of dust a crap plastered all over the place, I was wondering what people use to clean their cars. There is a light coating of stuff all over the place, including around the glo plug, around the suspension, the wheels etc etc. Is there some magic ingredient for cleaning the car. Should I bother?

I also have bought Rubbing alcohol in a >90% solution at some drugstores that works well. You may have to try a couple places because it is usually sold in weaker solutions, such as 70% alcohol, 30% water. Stay away from those with that much water... Of course there are pricey cleaners sold in your LHS (such as "Nitro Blast", etc.) but I can afford more hop-ups if I avoid those!

Denatured alcohol is usually a methyl alcohol with very little water in it. Mentholated spirits appears to be some kind of alcohol-based solvent, but I don't have any other information on it.
