Nitro cleaner

Does nitro cleaner degrade plastic or rubber parts ?

Denatured alcohol is safe for everything, why buy nitro cleaner that is so spendy, but yes it is safe for most things I believe, what does it say on the can ??

 

[bobbd]

Jam do you believe everything you read ?

 

[Jam Racing 1]

NOPE , but I do trust in most hobby manufacturers and products they sell, but as I said Deantured alcohol is safe for EVERYTHING except electronics

 

[bobbd]

See perfect example.

nitro cleaner is pretty close to a rebadged CRC electronic cleaner.

Does nitro cleaner degrade plastic or rubber parts ?

No but go to a auto parts store and by contact cleaner for half the price . Does the same thing

Meanwhile I go to the hardware store and buy a gallon of denatured alcohol and put in my own spray bottle for 12 bux a gallon which lasts a LOOOOOOONG time

 

[bobbd]

Thanks you all.

I think what @Jam Racing 1 is trying to say is you should buy denatured alcohol... ???

 

[Ingolf]

But 12 bux is like $30 Canadian !!!!

 

[Ingolf]

Dollars that is !! 1 bux to every 3 Canadian dollars . Lol

I just seen this post, I tell you what works an absolute dream! And very low cost!... Soapy water and WD40 mixes together! Leaves the model looking pristine! Especially with these big block engines leaving oily residue on the model after a bash, love it!

I've heard this one before!! Never tried it tho, might have to give it a go some time

2 parts denatured alcohol 1 part simple green and a little wd40 in a spray bottle works as a good cleaner.

I am new so don’t get bent when I ask this do ya rinse this mix off with water or what is process want to clean my rigs and was gonna buy some cleaner but didn’t know what to get but I will get what Halert71 said to mix up just need to know what to do with it after spray on just wipe off????

 

[Halert71]

I just use a tooth brush and a rag to wipe off. The simple green helps clean, the denatured alcohol helps clean and evaporate. And the WD-40 leaves the plastic shiny. No need to rinse off with water.

 

[Jam Racing 1]

I spray my mixture on, brush heavily dirty areas with an old toothbrush spray again till clean then blow off with compressed air to finish it off, afterward I clean the bearings if any are in need separately in denatured alcohol and reoil as needed...

 

[Biddie_fiddler]

I've literally used my snow canon for my car to clean my savage with a pressure washer ??

Triggered responses only please ?

 

[Vmansavage]

Thank ya fellas this helps me a lot can’t wait to clean em up for winter storage unless I get em muddy lol

 

[Biddie_fiddler]

@Vmansavage strongly recommend getting the rig dirty in winter!!
You may need to spend more time cleaning it afterwards but trust me it's worth it!
So long as you've done the proper measures to keep it as waterproof as possible, especially your servos and engine/motor & ESC

Drive, break, rinse, repeat ?

Gotta fit repairs in the motto somewhere ?
