I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I’ve never commented before. But I gotta say, out of all the people on KZfaq doing die cast restorations, you have the best voice for narration! Others are doing die cast restorations, but their narrations and voices are so abrasive to listen to that it completely spoils it for me. Keep up the good work and keep making your excellent videos!

I've used the Testors thinner in the little bottles since the 80s. Worked awesome back then and still works now, although I think some of the colors are more difficult now and you have more of a chance of getting into the bottom paint layer sometimes. Just have to be careful with the pressure.

Great video. One thing I have found that works great on plastic Slot Car bodies is Dot 3 Synthetic Brake Fluid (I have used the O'Rielly Auto Parts store brand). If you want to remove the tampo and the underlying paint just soak the body for a few hours and scrub with a soft tooth brush. I have found it will not damage the plastic. If you want to remove just the tampo carefully soak a spot on a micro fiber towel and rub just the tampo as you did in the video but you have to be careful not to take the base paint off. Again, thank you for sharing!!
@apodis49005 жыл бұрын
When you remove tampo's, have you tried masking the window plastic with blu-tack ( the putty like material you put posters on walls with ). It does a good job to protect and comes off immediately.

Tampo... Tampography. A printing process used to transfer print/art to a 3d surface, like golf balls, keyboards, hot wheels. Using a silicone pad (tampon) . You hot wheels guys probably know all this, but I had to look it up.

I had to look it up too. Did you also have to wade through sulking Philippine women to get to the right answer? Now I'm wondering why do people want them removed... The cars come from the factory with the tampos, so wouldn't a Hot Wheels collector want them on the car?
@paulwoodman51315 жыл бұрын
Yep, apparently Filipino women like to sulk and give the cold shoulder for no apparent reason. And that's Tampo. Some of those Hot Wheel tampos can be gaudy so if you want to customize or make a tampo car look normal, that whiny tampo has to sulk somewhere else.

Question: wouldn't taping off the windows make sense before using the chemicals?
@adambanas63655 жыл бұрын
I would be hesitant to try that. The chemicals might seep into the tape and end up in contact with the plastic longer than if you just wiped off any excess when it first happened. The same chemicals could also break down the adhesive and leave behind a bigger mess than you're trying to prevent. I would stick to the ones he mentioned are safe on windshields and be careful. And you can always take the car apart to be sure. I hope that helped!

Ever tried AVON Skin-So-Soft? I've used it with good success although I have not tried it on a black tampo. It's ingredients are mineral oil, fragrance and carrot seed oil, so it's non-toxic. Also, works great to get tar and bugs off of a real car without damaging the paint (not to mention it is great as an insect repellent!). Also was wondering if you have ever tried WD-40?Thanks for another very informative video!

What about a *Decal Remover Eraser Wheel* used for automotive decal removal? Maybe it won't do the tampos though. Wouldn't know, but you can use a drill for portable erasing or put on a bench grinder to have more control with the piece you are using.

Coming across a video where you mention "people use acetone". As you demonstrated, they shouldn't and I doubt they did. Acetone is literally the chemical I use to strip cars I'm going to repaint. 100% acetone bubbles the paint in seconds, so to think that a lower concentration is not at all going to damage the paint or clear is highly suspicious.
