Some basic restoration questions...

[ch4n]

Hello RobotJapan community!

This is my first post on this forum and I would like to say that from what I have read thus far, RobotJapan seems like a very supportive, friendly and fun community to be involved with.

I was wondering if you all could please assist me with my first restoration (very exciting!)

I am in the same boat as AcroRay.

I have purchased some Shogun Warriors from a market. It is clear that they need some love and work, but I do see some potential.

I would like to clarify what I have read to see if this is correct:

Remove scratches:
- Use Turtle Wax/Cut and Polish and gently rub over spots?

Cleaning the robots:
- Water to get rid of the dirt
- Use WD40/Amor All and other protective products for shine?

Removing plastic edgings:
- Sandpaper finer than 400 or 600 grit

Thanking you all kindly,

ch4n
