" HOW TO: Wax and Clean your Diecast cars?"

Some of you enjoy keeping your diecast clean. Here is a tutorial of how to clean your diecast and making them look beautiful.



Step 1: Finding The Right Products


First, find the right products to clean your diecast cars. The best way is to get a speed shine wax and a micro fiber towel. I prefer using Meguiar's Quick Detailer. Any micro fiber towel is fine.




Step 2: Cleaning Your Diecast


Next, Wipe of any dust and resdue on your diecast car. Plus if it's really dusty, get a wet paper towel to clean of most of the dust off. Then you can dry it off with the microfiber towel.





Step 3: Adding The Wax On The Car

Now, Spary the mist wax on clean micro fiber towel. Then apply the wet towel on the car and rub all over the body. Make sure you don't wipe the windows that much or that hard. It will scratch the window. Next, Buff the car with a the dry side of the towel.





Step 4: Look At It And Enjoy!

Now place it anywhere you want it and enjoy the shining waxed car!
