Washing Gen3
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2016 6:17 pm
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is safe to power wash new Gen3 cars? My typical post race weekend steps for my Gen2 included:
1. Take off all body panels
2. Vacuum all the grass from my off course excursions and rubber out of the car.
3. Power wash the entire car to get off all the brake dust and grime, being careful not to physically damage anything with power washer.
4. Blow dry the car with my leaf blower (a trick I found from a post on this site). Then dry the rest with a towel.
5. Perform repairs, general maintenance work, and chassis setup for next race. This step is much better with a clean car.
6. Spray car down with WD-40 or Corrosion-X. I have open trailer....so this is a must.
I never had any problems with the Gen2 and was wondering if there are any electrical concerns or something else that I should be concerned with. I don't want to mess up my new toy. Thanks.
