Ls1transam Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Extremely bored since it's raining here. So I thought I'd see if I could do any hand buffing on a model car. It worked wonders! All products used were Adam's except the wax. Single soft MF towel and my finger was used as the buffing pad. I used the correction and finishing polish. I was shocked how it came out. Topped off with Brilliant Glaze and a Liquid paste wax.

falcaineer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Very cool. Did you try TRC (and maybe toothbrush) on the tires? You could also deck it out with VRT or TS on the tires, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 First one to use the ceramics on die cast wins. I have so darn many of the things it would take me a month at least to do them all. Including die cast motors that I never took out of the displays they came in. That would be a good winter project. Great job! falcaineer, Texguy87 and b_pappy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 My parents still have all of my old Matchbox/Hot Wheels in storage back home. They've been trying to get me to take them for years. Since I always took great care of them, even wrapping my favorites before putting them away when I was 21, er, 12 , and keenly ( ) only played outside with my friend's cars, I may just call my parents for that box before long. Need a project for the winter....... b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane@detailedreflections Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 That looks good. Nice work. You need a nano shortneck to take the die cast model to the next level! It's always about trying to get the next level of shine out of our vehicles. Big or small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane@detailedreflections Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 That should definitely qualify as the next level! Totally a great way to justify purchasing such a tool if you ask me. LT1xL82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
