Oil From The Manufactures

[stef.b]

Good Morning Collectors. Just a quick question, i just picked up my Monza Green Phase 3 and on the bonnet on the mat black strips around the shaker is an oil stain from the factory. I didnt want to use anything on it untill i got some feed back as to what might remove it? It does look as though its has permanently stained it. Thanks for any feed back. Stef

Hi Stef,

I had a Lowndes First ford a few years ago and it had oil( or soy sauce:D) pooled on the bottom edge of the rims (wheels). It wiped of easy but there was enough to get on fingers just rotating the wheels. I have never heard or saw this again

I have come across a light sheen of oil on quite a few models.
Both the 1/43 rally box sets I bought yesterday had it on both the cars and the clear plastic insert in the lids. Just polished it off.

The 1/18 Richards/Skaife Commodore was very bad for this. All tyres were absolutely covered on it. Still trying to clean it 100%.

Alight film is usually under / around the bootclips of later Autoart Commodores. As for the OP, just try a nice soft cloth or tissue and it should all be good.

I had a similar issue with the JPS BMW I bought.
Fired off a note to Biante, only for them to tell me it was oil, and would wipe off.
Didn't I feel like a fool!
I don't know how you'll go with the matt paint finish, but the oil should just come off.
You could try something like CRCs contact cleaner, but I would be VERY carefull with it.

Ive recieved quiet a few models that have had patches of a fine film of oil on them, on the paint work is fine, it just wipes off with a tissue but being on the gt bonnet on the matt black finish i wasnt sure how to go about getting it off. for now ill try a damp cloth.
