when i clean my rc car can i use a bottle of compressed air because if i flip it on its side or upside down it freezez the water or any cleaner i have on it is this bad for it
 
i usually just use the computer cleaner first to get everythign off then i clean the rest after i do that

I have no idea what you just said...
 
THis might sound like a dumb ?? but you are holding the can of compressed air upright aren't you? I know from being in the computer biz, if you turn them upside down they will freeze almost anything quickly. Comes in handy sometimes.
 
Honestly, save up and get a compressor. I tried the canned air for a while but it tends to get expensive after a while. Plus canned air just doesn't have the oomph that a compressor will.

there i typed it out for you lol
 
no i doubt its bad for you, but thats freon coming out of that can , and it can cuz lung problems and even blindness if inhaled. just go to walmart and pick up the small compressor for $39.99 and a air gun for it, will be the best thing you can use, i take all my electronics off, spray purple power on everything, then use my pressure washer and it makes it look like new everytime, then i just use my air compressor and blow everything perfectly dry, and reinstall electronic put in after run oil and put them on there displays!
 
You use a power washer to clean your rigs? What nozzle are you using for that? I hear the red tip cleans stuff off the best.

He is probably using a very wide one. I know the laser one on my washer would probably tear through a car.

It's Vass..That's basically the idea of it all, LMAO. I've known the guy for 15 minutes and he's a friggin' riot, gotta love'em.

And yes....It's a 0 degree nozzle and has the power (given the capacity of the power head) to chew through brick and concrete.
 
I have 3 compressors but it's to much trouble to hook it up just to clean the car off. Would the $39 dollar one even do good enough?
 
hey beast i was useing caned air cause i got like 6 cans of it free but went to buy some and it was to much by the time you by some cans you could just by a little compressor

Can you not just fill a tank with air and use that? Quick and easy.
 
compressor is pretty easy just plug it in 5 mins later or less you have plenty of air works great

oh i also went to a auto parts store and got a parts cleaning brush spray with simple green scrub down with that blow it off clean as new lol
