The Definitive Car Care guide - PT1 Nov 13, 2006 - 6:02:36 PM So why do we collect cars? Many of us are helpless car nuts that just love the automobile. Some collect all makes and models whereas others collect specific marques or cars from a certain era. Collecting gives us personal satisfaction. Our little cars may remind us of a time when life was simpler or of a special event in our lives. The bottom line is that we collect because we love to. OK, so we now have a small fortune invested in a collection of little cars. We never miss an opportunity to proudly show off our collection of cars to friends and relatives. So how do YOU take care of them? In my experience, I’ve seen the gamut of display and care techniques. Cars displayed in dust free, climate controlled environments to the dusty office of a body shop. I’ve seen people who buy a model and then never touch it once they put it up in their garage workshop. Then there is the guy who pulls the model off the shelf once a month just to sit down and admire the details and workmanship. Sometimes, getting lost in the mystique of the car that the model represents it what collecting is all about. With a little bit of care and some responsible display techniques, these models can last a long time. In this article I hope to cover most of the topics that people have asked me in letters, phone calls, emails and in person. Topics to be covered will include: identifying paint problems, basic and advanced care, minor repairs, cosmetic touch up and display options.
