Get Back in the Race in Seconds!
Tired of dirty tires killing your lap times? This is the original Speed Clean tire cleaner from Jadedparts.com – designed by racers, for racers. It quickly removes dust, marbles, and grime from your slot car tires (wet or dry), restoring maximum grip fast.
I started with a simple homemade version using a 9V battery, wood stick, and dishrag. As demand grew from our local club, I upgraded it step by step. The current model is fully rechargeable with long-lasting 18650 batteries – I charge mine for just 1 hour twice a year, and one charge easily lasts half our racing season (monthly races, 6 classes, cleaning between every heat on 4-lane tracks).
How it works:
Wet: Add a drop or two of your club's preferred tire cleaner (like naphtha) to rear of the Velcro pads using the included dropper bottle before the race (a few drops last hours) . Place your car on the unit, spin the tires through the moist section to loosen dirt, then pull forward across the dry Velcro to wipe them clean in seconds. The sticky Velcro holds up great – it won't peel from normal liquid use (soaking for hours would be needed to loosen it).
Dry: no liquid, run your car through to pull off dust and grime.
Key Features:
Rechargeable & replaceable 18650 lithium-ion batteries (9.2V DC system) – lasts months on a single 1-hour charge via USB
Charging indicator: Red light while charging, turns blue when complete
Cannot be used while charging – protects onboard electronics
Circuit and batteries are protected against shorts (e.g., from screwdrivers across braids) – common on any slot track
Bottom access panel for easy battery replacement (18650s available at battery stores or online)
Replaceable Velcro tire pads – includes one set installed + spares
Comes with soft pads (great for general cleaning) and rough pads (some racers prefer them for heavier duty)
Non-slip rubber padding on the bottom for stability
Fastest wet or dry tire cleaning – seconds to race-ready tires!
What's Included:
1x Fully assembled Speed Clean unit (batteries pre-installed, ready to use)

Notes, Trick & Tips:
The included 1/32 scale slot car is shown for demonstration only and not included in the sale.
Yes, you can add sandpaper to the pads for knocking down high spots, but I don't recommend spinning tires aggressively this way if you're aiming to stay competitive (better for light truing).
Always use care on the track – avoid crossing braids to prevent shorts that could damage batteries if prolonged.
This tool has become a club favorite for quick, reliable tire maintenance between heats. Don't lose races to dirty tires – grab yours today and stay ahead of the pack!
