The 5 most important tips for caring for your model cars

Model cars are more than just collector's items, they are works of art that deserve proper care. Here are our top tips to keep your collection in perfect condition.

1. Keep dust free

Dust is the biggest enemy of any model collection. Use a soft brush or compressed air to regularly remove dust. For particularly sensitive models, we recommend a display case with a glass front.

2. Proper storage

Store your model cars in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. UV rays can fade the paintwork and make plastic parts brittle.

3. Handle with care

Always touch your models by the underbody, not by sensitive parts such as mirrors or antennas. With RC vehicles, you should check the moving parts before every ride.

4. Systematic cleaning

A soft microfiber cloth is suitable for cleaning. If you have stubborn dirt, you can use distilled water - never aggressive cleaning agents!

5. Periodic Inspection

Check your collection regularly for damage or discoloration. The earlier you recognize problems, the better you can take countermeasures.
