Welcome Nifty, I remember learning to drive the same way!
The RC's are substitutes for media blasting. During my build I've tried it all and only recently borrowed a 40lb blast tank from a friend to clean the road tar out of the fender that nothing, and I mean nothing else would get out. Nor would paint stick to it neither Rustoleum, Chassi Saver OR Epoxy primer, which is why I was looking for a blaster. I want the paint to stick! I'm convinsed it's Number 1.
