Default Re: Chassis cleaning and protection ideas ?

I'd forgotten what nasty stuff cadium is, fortunately the abrasor I used was damp so any dust would have had much chance to get airborne - or at least I hope that was the case.

I must say the plating much have been very thin as it disappeared almost instantly once touched with a 'magic white cleaner' block.

I've given the affected chassis a wipe over with Osmo oil - only because I had some to hand and it looked a similar colour !

As it turns out the layer is so thin you can hardly tell it's there !

As an aside while overhauling the tuning gear box due to the anti backlash gears not working I discovered that someone had managed to get a super glue type stuff between the gear wheels ! No wonder there was back lash but all good now.
