My method:

1.Get as much off at track as possible-Ideally with a compressor if there is one to hand.

2.After quick clean GT85 It all Cover everything-Specially bearings ect.

3. Take home..I use Muc-OFF as soon as you can wipe of other junk, and use a compressor/airbrush haha to clean mud.. then wipe off with brush.

4.Re apply GT85 put it away till next time-IF I was going to use it at practice or something..

5.I only race, So I normally Relube wheel bearings ect after each day-Unless I know Im going to practice before..
Clean everything-Complete strip and clean/lube.

6.Hudy bearing grease bearings-Main focus diff and wheel bearings

7.Assemble-Check for worn/broken parts replace if necessery-Same with glow plugs and clutch shoes ect.

8.Rebuild-GT85-Leave 2 hrs wipe off excess-Smile at your work.. and have piece of mind its super clean and shouldn't have any issues next use.

Yea, Its great stuff you will see 80% of drivers using it. I use it all the time, after heat clean and spray-Mud and crap dosnt stick so easy on it.. so pray shock shell ect.. let it dry a few mins.. Then its like a clear film.. and great water displacer.. 1.Keeps your car clean 2.Good for loosening dirt. 3.Helps to get water out of bearings ect 4.USE IT LOL.. plus makes your car look a lot cleaner too lol
