4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Instructions

• To clean the model car and display case, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. Microfiber cloths are recommended to avoid scratching surfaces.
• Avoid using water, harsh cleaning agents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint finish or plastic components.
• For stubborn dust in crevices, a soft brush (like a clean, dry paintbrush) can be used carefully.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Dust Accumulation: If dust accumulates inside the display case, carefully remove the case, clean both the model and the inside of the case as per maintenance instructions, and then reassemble.
• Loose Parts: Due to the intricate nature of diecast models, small parts may occasionally become loose. If a part detaches, it can often be reattached using a small amount of model-safe adhesive. Exercise caution and refer to specialized modeling resources if unsure.
• Scratches on Display Case: Minor scratches on the acrylic display case can sometimes be buffed out with a plastic polish designed for clear plastics. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
