anybody have a good remedy for toy scuffs? i guess the figures rubbed together or whatever. i picked up some Mr. Clean magic erasers, maybe those will work? any advice?
Those will work good on some Western type stuff, that have a lot thicker paint application. Be careful using it on Japanese vinyl that is sprayed.
for vintage toys, I recommend a cleaning solution from Twin Pines of Maine. It is orange based, and it is mased for use on GI Joe bodies and other plastic and vinyl. You need to water it down a bit, and work slowly, but you can get about 50% of the scuffs off on regular play wear. harder vinyls are less receptive (talkers for example) but you know the stuff won't hurt your toys. I have no idea what is in magic eraser, but I bet it is a bleach derivitive, which could be scary in the long run.
there's nothing in a magic eraser it's just a weird sponge you wet it then squeeze out the water and wipe away
there has to be some type of active ingredient.. or is it just the course nature of the sponge that removes scuffs etc.? hmmm
I think that's it. I had really good results getting off some paint that rubbed off onto another figure.
I don't see an orange based cleaner in the Two Pines catalog: http://www.twinpines.com/Catalog.html?VT=ooi_pV_alRLojIi_aQ2LiggIiuzqDbKgZ477jV_alRL8jv
Anyone gotten this book from Twin Pines? Any opinions on it? "The Definitive Book on the Care and Preservation of Vinyl Dolls and Action Figures" http://www.twinpines.com/Catalog.ht...gIiuzqDbKgZ477jV_alRL8jv&Tmp_CategoryID=00001 CC
