Whether it's wheel nuts, wings, tools, tracks, trinkets and/or anything in between, the LiveRC staff gives their testimonial and mini-review of each every Thursday morning!

Sean McPike is a micro electronics repairer and IC3 in the U.S. Navy. He’s been racing for the last three years of a 12-year RC career, and he was a regular at SDRC Raceway in San Diego, CA before returning to his hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana. He regularly enters in 2WD and 4WD Modified, as well as 1/8-Scale Nitro and Electric Buggy.

And at his first race after moving back to the Midwest, he won E-Buggy at a round of the Monsters of the Midwest series.

Also - for the sake of full disclosure: Cleanwerkz reached out to Sean McPike after hearing how well he enjoyed the product during testing and offered him a sponsorship. This product test was completed beforehand.

Cleanwerkz Pro Cleaner is a biodegradable, non-caustic cleaning solution. It’s available in a 16-ounce spray bottle, as well as 1/2- and 1-gallon refill jugs.

Cleanwerkz says the cleaner is strong enough to be diluted 50/50 with water, but that didn’t stop our product tester from squirting it straight from the bottle. “It seems the active ingredient is a bit more potent than the typical general-purpose cleaner - it’s like Simple Green on steroids,” said McPike. Despite being less-than-enthusiastic about how difficult it was to pack and store the 32-ounce bottle (which has since been discontinued), Sean liked everything else about it. “It’s one of the best adjustable spray nozzles I’ve ever used. The exhaust oil and grime on my nitro car just fell off with almost zero scrubbing - just blew it off with an air compressor and I was looking factory fresh!”

Pros:

Great on grime and oil

Awesome nozzlehead

Biodegradable

Cons:

Didn’t know about it sooner

Conclusion:

Cleanwerkz was founded by a former motocross rider who picked up RC racing upon his retirement, and his Pro Cleaner formula totally hits the mark.
