5.1 Cleaning:

• Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry brush (e.g., a clean makeup brush or a dedicated model brush) or a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust from the surface.
• Fingerprints: For fingerprints or smudges, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water (distilled water is preferred) and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the paint finish.
• Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the model in water or expose it to excessive moisture.
