Cleaning Transformers

Or throw the toy out and get another, is my opinion.

Not everyone can afford that benben. Sometimes restoring a junker is the only way for som people to have a toy they once cherished as a child. Like my targetmaster Crosshairs (well I didn't cherish him as a child because I never had him but I always wanted him)

Benben, please THINK before you post

Jay,

I use Babywipes to get rid of sticker residue. The liquid in them dissolves the residue and leaves the surface intact.

Spoken like a true 13 year old.

When I was 13 I would have NEVER suggested to anyone to throw away a vintage toy, not even a junker.

But Mate, 13 year olds of our generation & benben's generation think totally unlike one another. Even though were all mainly "Generation X" (as they like to classify us), "Generation Y" folk like benben think completely differently to us over the exact same subject.

It's a lost cause - cos in their eyes we know squat & they know everything.

Pics?

Are you asking for pics of my successful cleaning job? Alas, my lazy ass hasn't done it yet.

I just cleaned up a G1 Dirge using this stuff I got from the hardware store, basically a very concentrated detergent. Throw a few capfuls into a container of water and submerge your parts. Don't of course leave any metal bits in there and separate the parts as best you can. Leave 24-48 hrs and your parts will come out completely bare and smelling like a pine forest. Give it a wash and you'll be amazed at how clean your parts are.
This method will take off old stickers, general grime and maybe paint (haven't tested). I have used it undiluted to remove Tamiya enamels off model kits and it works great. Won't shift lacquers however.

Knock off a real car with chrome bumpers. Take what you need & discard the rest of it.
