How do you maintain diecast and toy tractors?

Regular cleaning of children’s toys can help to maintain the bright colours that they were originally painted in. In addition, proper cleaning helps prevent the spread of germs. From time to time, it's also a good idea to check for any loose, broken, or missing parts.

If you plan to utilize your scale miniatures as collectibles for display, extra care can be taken to maintain them.

  • Dust: Regularly dust your collectibles to avoid dulling their appearance and to help prevent any contaminants from damaging the finishes.
  • Shade: Keep your collectibles out of direct sunlight to prevent UV rays from fading or drying out the materials they're made from.
  • Protect: Since tractor miniatures have wheels, it's important to store or display them in such a way that they won't roll off the shelf or other surface where you have them. Additionally, make sure that delicate models are out of reach of children and pets.
