I've heard of floor wax being used to give figures a shine, but so far, haven't heard of anyone trying car wax, so I thought I'd ask. EDIT: Only reason I haven't tried this myself is because I don't have any figures I want to experiment on. Quote:

Stick with the Plegde with Future, plastic on plastic is the safe way to go. |
