car washing

[Sm0kEy]

When I first started buggy racing I cleaned my car so brilliantly that none of the guys that I got to help me tune it at my LHS believed I had even run it in, I still clean my buggy well, but there is a little more dust than before.

The other day I tried driving in a dried up swamp bed, the sand, dust, basically soft dry mud was spraying everywhere, my buggy had sand dunes inside, and it was beginning to make some funky squeaky noises if you catch my drift. So i took it home and washed da damn thing.

Cheers

I hope you went through the differentials and relubed everything. The parts washer cleans it all up great but unfortunately also degreases everything.
