Stay far away from the rubbing compound as it is used for restoring the shine to heavily oxidized finishes. Typically this is encountered with vehicle finishes that have been outdoors and have UV exposure and weather extremes. Just a cleaner/wax is more than adequate. Rubbing compound actually removes a very thin layer of paint to allow the paint underneath to become exposed and shine.
@@andregtsvj1069 Your call. If you want them to shine more and protect the paint finish, then yes. But under a clear case isolating them from dust, then no. Just don't put in direct sunlight. Ultra violet rays in the sunlight more likely to cause the paint to fade, become dull, less vibrant!
Ahhh! the chrome on some of my 1/18 muscle cars have developed black spots! I generally wrap my cars in a soft shirt . Others displayed on closed closet shelves . Sometimes uncovered for a week or two during humid weather. I guess that's what caused a few cars to develop black spots on rims, and pipes, bumpers? I guess storing Cars in plastic totes or shoe boxes is best? I no longer have original car boxes. Your thoughts?
Im really sorry about your ordeal. I have never encountered any type of situation like this at all. I store all my boxed models in plastic totes surrounded by bubble wrap and at least a few packets of silica gel to avoid any type of moisture while in storage. As for my displayed models, they are individually in display cases and never out of the case. I have a few models that have been sitting out but i always keep them away from sunlight and humidity. The heat “especially on the tires and paint” is very harsh on models. I would go with plastic totes as best. Never had an issue with them and make sure you have enough padding to protect them. I also suggest to have a few packets of silica gel or anything similar to help with any remaining moisture in the box. I might make a video on that in the future. Thank you for your question.
Please take time to do a Review on the 1969 Plymouth Road runner 1/18th Scale Die case Model. In the Red and Black Colorings Made by Autoworld. I am VERY Interested in this car and have not got it yet. BUT If you get it and it does a 9/10 out of it... And you do NOT want it........ I will buy it off of you for the SAME price you bought it for. Thank you Please let me know If your goingt o to do a Review on this Particular car by Autoworld. Thanks Jason
I dont have the model but i know exactly you are talking about. Its a very hard to find model! My advice is keep your eyes peeled on the listings online such as ebay or facebook marketplace. One might pop up there. Happy hunting!
You’re very welcome! Yes you can! Just make sure you avoid the decals for the polishing part. Aggressive polishing on those parts will end up taking off the decals. If your model has decals, i suggest you just clean it well with warm water and a microfibre cloth to substitute the polishing part. Check out my other cleaning videos with decals as well!
Personally no. If i was going to try to tackle it, i would apply a little bit of polish, rub it well with the microfiber cloth and see what it looks like after. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the question. Check and see how much dust or dirt is on the models. Usually the closed display cases should be fine. Inspect the models and see if it needs some cleaning. If you need it. I would recomend a damp microfibre towel to wipe off that layer of dust, make sure not to apply too much pressure and be extra careful with the sensitive/fragile parts. After that dry it off with another clean and dry microfibre towel and you can wax it with the process i did on the video.
Bro i just bought mustang gt500 its been a month i have it..i noticed yesterday that the edges of the car is faded and they grey out as the colour of the car is black it is noticeable..should i repaint the car...or wait for few months as i touch up with the permanent maker..but the ink of the marker is somewhat brown in shade so when you bring the model in light the touch up is visible..i like the car very much but i dont want to ruin it i know how to do a little paint job with spray cans i can give the smooth finish...so should i repaint it..?
In my opinion, if you can repaint it, why not? If you have an extra unwanted car to practice on that would be my suggestion first before you paint on the actual car if you havent tried this way before. The beauty of repainting is you can also choose a different colour you want! 🙂
@@duckduckdiecast3324 yeah i will consider it! For the time being i will take some time to make up my mind 😅 i like this car in black and will again repaint in black...in the few months...i have to gather all the things first and then start..thanks for the suggestion..🤝🏼🙂
Im not sure about the other chemicals and ingredients on other waxes. I would also suggest mother’s cmx which gives a ceramic coat finish. The smell after is a bit strong though. But if that doesnt bother you then go give it a shot. The wax from what i recommend has a pleasant fruity smell and not harsh on the nose.
Im not sure what kind of paint they use for detailed pieces. Never had hot toys but i would definitely use caution in applying polish. As soon the area rubs off, its gone. In my opinion, and not professional advice, i would use warm water and a clean soft microfibre cloth. Rub gently and I hope that will do the trick. 🙂

Thanks for your input. I’ll look more into this.
Hi, If i store my 1:18 models in display cases , i need to wax them or it is unnecessary?

Very nice done
Impressive detailing!
Thanks!
Nice! Have you ever damaged a car?
Also I’d LOVE to see a review of the Autoart Lamborghini Diablo GTR!
Its coming! 😀👍🏽

Thanks for the informative video! can this same process be used on 1:64 cars?

That compound really did a good job. I have a couple of diecast I need to try that on.
I think i’ll try a different compound on another car to see the difference.
Do you know how to remove a bit of yellow in the plastic window and headlights ?
Personally no. If i was going to try to tackle it, i would apply a little bit of polish, rub it well with the microfiber cloth and see what it looks like after. Hope that helps.

Which wax you recommend or I can use any wax that I use for my real car ?
Im not sure about the other chemicals and ingredients on other waxes. I would also suggest mother’s cmx which gives a ceramic coat finish. The smell after is a bit strong though. But if that doesnt bother you then go give it a shot. The wax from what i recommend has a pleasant fruity smell and not harsh on the nose.
Hey! Do you think this would work on hot toys figures?
Im not sure what kind of paint they use for detailed pieces. Never had hot toys but i would definitely use caution in applying polish. As soon the area rubs off, its gone. In my opinion, and not professional advice, i would use warm water and a clean soft microfibre cloth. Rub gently and I hope that will do the trick. 🙂

What is a deckel? I know what a (decal) is but I've never in my entire 75 years ever heard them called a deckel?
Hmm must be a new age thing…
