4. Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Hot Wheels die-cast vehicle.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paint and decals.

5. Troubleshooting
Most issues with die-cast vehicles are related to cosmetic damage or minor functional problems. Here are some common concerns and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
