That looks great.Did you used the Tamiya Color?
I've been using Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner on mine with good results. Mist lightly on the helmet, smooth on using one side of a cotton terry or microfiber towel, flip the towel over and wipe surface dry. Provides a nice smooth shine that highlights the subtleties of the helmet's shape giving it some extra "pop" without making it too glossy.Hi! I'd love to polish mine a little bit. I saw that someone used Mother's brand car wax? I wasn't able to find it at my local parts store. Can you recommend any other types of polish or wax that would be good to try?
I suspect it would result in a "scratched plastic" look. I wouldn't try it! Repainting it probably the best option. But if anyone were to try an abrasive method, gray Scotch Brite pad would be a better choice.Has anyone tried going over the gunmetal on the standard edition with some steel wool to see if it gives it the brushed look?
Special Edition is back in stock.
