Take out Electrics, fuel tank, Engine and wheels.
Take to local petrol (gas) station and jet wash it.
Put all dirty wheels in a bucket and jet wash them too.
Take home, spray with WD-40 and store in airing cupboard much to the wifes annoyance.

Air compressors work the best and you dont need to take a ton of parts off your buggy/truck to clean it. You can purchase one at a HOE DEPOT or for those of us that prefer a HOME DEPOT for a resonable amount of money...scence when is this hobby cheap any way!?!

Don't guess any hobby ya get into is cheap. I can't see me sitting around knitting or reading a book. Unless the book has something to do with the hobby. =devil
I wanted to spray paint one of my planes. Got a Craftsman compressor ($275?) and a $75 touch up gun. Haven't used the paint gun since, but I get a lot of use from the compressor. I got a little bigger one so if I wanted to use it for anything else, I wouldn't be waiting on it to catch up. (It still won't run an impact wrench very long.)
When I first got into aircraft, told the wife I needed a band saw. Told her all the things I could build for the house.... Well, I have scratch-built 4 or 5 planes... :cheerful:
Get a compressor. If ya can't afford one. How about this:http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...=00915200000&subcat=Portable+Tank+Compressors or this: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...=00915201000&subcat=Portable+Tank+Compressors You could fill it up at a service station or better yet at a friends house while ya visit and drink a couple of beers.
I have sprayed my cars with 409 and compressed air.
When I had my Savage apart last, I used WD 40. It worked great. All the parts looked new. But ya have to have someway to blow them off.

Yep. But if ya can't afford a compressor...
Lowes and home depot usually have small compressors. About $80. Here is one I found online. http://www.nationalonlinesales.com/show_Product.asp?ID=1579 As always, you get what ya pay for. Get the best that you can afford. You will be waiting on a little one to build air and it'll work itself to death.
Here is what I have. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...=00916731000&subcat=Portable+Tank+Compressors Maybe some of the other guys have a less expesive one that they like. How about it guys.
