The acetone (or fingernail polish remover that contains acetone) seems to take more work/rubbing and it's more likely damage will occur. I have used both and the carb cleaner is far superior. I have experienced a lot of damage using acetone and getting impatient. But even some Hotwheels are very resistant to the carb cleaner (Mooneyes Chevelle wagon for one and some trucks, too).

 

Yes, hence why I said the same precautions apply.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Here are some more stuff i found today, the loose 93 mustang cop car i found at an O'Reilly Auto Parts Store. The Larger blue 65 mustang i found at another wal-greens.

 

Dang! Congrats!! I'm still anxiously awaiting the 5 pk!!! I want that Need For Speed Mustang in gold!!

 

My latest ebay purchase........a '15 S550 modified to look like a Bullitt. It's superbly done!

 

Excellent!!! Looks great!

 

Thanks Luke, I'm really pleased with it!

I just wish I had the skill to do modifications like this (the paint looks better than what comes as standard from Hotwheels!).

It would be cool to be able to get bespoke models made. I'd by this 1/18 Mach 1 tribute in a hearbeat!

 

Oh totally! That guy is well known in the model car world. He writes articles for Scale Auto Magazine.

 

I got these hard to find Shelby Collectibles '13 GT500s in today from eBay. A really decent price, too.

 

That is awesome!

 

I got this quick model build for me for this weekend

 

Ready to see progress!

 

I decided to change the less than exciting wheels that came on the Shelby Collectibles '13 GT500s.

Much better!

 

I ordered another super stang lol

 

Nice! Which? I hope you didn't pay too much. They are really not worth what a lot of "collector's" say they are!

 

I used what you said. I think maybe 18$ it's the maroon 07 mustang

 

looks way better

 

Nice, that's not too bad. Good job!

 

Found this at Wal-Mart yesterday
