    Okay, first off, this might be the wrong forum, so my apologies if it is.

    Anyway, I came into possession of a box of random TFs and such. Down at the bottom, there was a well-loved, but obviously well-worn Go-Bots Pathfinder. She's in need of some work, and I needed some suggestions.

    Most of it is obviously just paint work, but I was wondering, are there any suggestions on how to remove what appears to be green marker on a lot of the silver bits (both plastic and diecast). Any suggestions?

    think of it as Megatron's "cosmic rust"...try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol.

    Rubbing alcohol will take care of that.
