Clean A Diecast Car

Clean a Diecast Car


There are probably lots of men out there who collect die cast cars. These little replicas of their favorite classic cars and dream cars are fun to look at and own. They are usually kept in a nice display cabinet, but even the best cabinet in the world will let in dust. This is why keeping your die cast car clearn is so important. (If damaged during the cleaning process, the car will be worthless. So, the key is to be careful while handling them.)


Instructions


1. Take the die cast car out of it’s cabinet. To remove, grasp it across the roof. Your thumb should hold one side and your forefinger should hold the other. Be careful not to bump the rear view mirrors or antenna.


2. Prepare a small pan or sink full of warm water and add a couple drops of dish liquid. Gently dunk the die cast car up and down a few times. Do not swish it side to side because the force of the water may break the mirrors or antenna from the car.


3. Wipe the die cast car with a very soft cloth, if grime or dust is still present. Run warm water from your faucet at a very gentle force. Hold the die cast car under the water to rinse away detergent residue. Turn the car side ways so the flow of the water runs through the interior of the die cast car.


4. Blot the car gently with a very soft towel. Always be careful not to snag any of the small parts. With the car sitting on a towel to catch drips, use a blow dryer, set on low, to finish drying the car. Be sure to get inside the interior to dry up all of the moisture.


5. Wax the car once it is completely dry. Use your favorite car polish and apply it according to instructions. Apply the polish to the die cast cars body panels just like you would an actual car. Wipe the polish off with a very soft cloth. The polish will help preserve the paint and repel dust.
