Reply to "Advice on buffing scratches out of a scale vehicle"

The problem with trying to polish them out is how thick is the paint at the bottom of the scratch there may be very little room for error.  Another problem is leaving behind the polishing grit in the edges of the scratches that can be difficult to get the last bits out.  Any of the clear acrylic car waxes will also work just like the floor wax at a bit more cost and a lot more protection if you leave your toys outside..  I am of the mind set that a model car would have to be very special for me to go to any trouble. I'd be more inclined to weather it than make it look new. Clear acrylic paint would also work it is basically the same stuff as the scratch remover pen sold in auto parts stores. Since these products are water based they should not pose a threat to the existing finish. In fact you might want to dip the entire truck if protecting the graphics is of much importance to you.  If you do dip the entire truck you could go with the lower sheen product.  j
