The temperature was cold this morning so I used a portable propane heater to warm up the garage.

Begin by wet sanding the model with 2000 grit wet-and-dry sandpaper. Just take off the dust and don't sand off the paint.

This was followed by polishing with various cleaners and polishers.

Begin by wetting the bonnet and apply a small amount of cleaner first.

Clean or change the bonnet and follow with less abrasive cleaners and then a wax.

After a little buffing the model looks as good as any of the commercially available composite models.
