Need advice on cleaning my Mercedes CLK GTR

After months of collecting dust my Mercedes CLK GTR looks like sh*t! It is one of my favorite German car model collections and I don't want to lose this one because of some stupid dust. Does anyome here knows the best way to turn this thing into new?

When my Mercedes GTR (2nd one, first one was stripped) got dirty, I simply sold it and bought a new one. Can't we all afford GTR's?

Just put it in the washer machine and pour in a cup of bleach.

Lightbulb Model car collection should know....

I myself collect a lot of model cars major of 1:18 , few in 1:43
All the "glass" closets are design COPIED from
departmentstores
Luminated both on the top & bottom of each shelf.
Watch model cars thru "glasses", less fun but dust free.

Fast Cars!
i sometimes use one of those air dusters for computers. but not when there as dirty as yours. lol


just spray the whole thing down with windex and wipe it good it should look fine.

But if u get a real CLK-GTR please dont use the info i just suggested on that.

SLK 350 '05
um...that's one dusty model..

but i think you could wipe it with something wet first(windex or something of the like)

then remove dust from the cracks using a camera brush..

to finish it off, wipe it with microfiber cloth...

at least that's how i do it..
