Hello,
I wanted to share an experience with you guys/gals!

Recently while flying, My Phantom 2 Vision, got into a battle
With a huge June Beetle, poor beetle, did not stand a chance!
Anyhow, I ended up with a Phantom, that resembled something
Out of a horror movie! What an incredible mess!

So I brought it inside, to attempt a cleaning, I first scrubbed it with
Paper towels, warm water, tiny spot of detergent, did not work real
Good, my wife hands me a BABY WIPE ( no additives, no scent, w/ aloe )
It cleaned the stuff RIGHT OFF, no scrubbing, no mess, just plain simple!
I've been doing this for a while now, well I have a spare phantom shell ( for
Rainy day, REALLY rainy day ), I noticed my Vision had a nice shinny luster
To it, where as my spare shell was dull, almost satin look to it, I think the aloe
Is conditioning the plastic, each time I wipe it down! I'm not sure what long time
Exposure would or could do to the plastic, but has been positive so far, plus dust and dirt,
And unfortunately guts, wipe of really easy now, even without baby wipes!
It even takes of grease, as I once grabed it from the shelf with greasy hands ( fixing
Mower ), busted out a baby wipe, bam, right off! SWEET!

I'm sure some of you probably already do this? But I thought it was cool!

I use store brand ( Parents Choice ) fragrance free w/aloe ( the cheap stuff ) lol.
I always grab the bag when it is low, cause the wipes are not so wet, as when they are new!
They are better, when they dry out a bit, don't leave so much moisture behind!

Just thought I'd share, might save someone a bit of time, and effort!

Take care, Fly safe!
 
Hey they've always taken the worst caked in crap of my kids asses which has been toxic at times so I dont see why not ;)
 
Well....naturally you would use baby wipes. Your quad IS your baby. :lol:

Once you've toweled it dry, don't forget to put talcum powder on its undercarriage! Helps prevent chaffing :lol:

Careful! Someone might actually try this. :lol:
