After getting a good answer on why some Plasma Series Ecto's appear more burnt than others, we try a few different solutions to remove the extra smoke stains on some of the earlier factory examples. Watch to see how we did it and be sure to leave a comment on what you thought of the results!

After watching this video I did this using 80% rubbing alcohol and an antibacterial wipe, and the burnt look just wiped right off, needing hardly any elbow grease at all. I guess it depends on the strength of the alcohol. My Afterlife Ecto looks way better now and more like it does in the trailers. Thank you 😊

I used 91% IPA a couple of weeks ago and it came of really easily. Very little rubbing needed. I used a couple of cotton balls and swiped from the window down the hood in a straight line. The rust and other paint apps don’t have time to come off. It looks very good and was done in under 10 mins.

Im gonna say if i find one of these in a goodwill i just might turn it unto somethin else or keep it. But also when stuff like that ends up there it dont normally come it in one piece so there might be missing parts and stuff. I already have one and its the chard version but i will be looking for one of these

Go to town on it! You have the untouched version, so even if you do something that you’re not thrilled with, it’s not like it’s the only one you have. There’s a guy local who does police cars with lights. I’ve been wanting to see what he’d charge to do the ecto for me. He does all local police departments vehicles and ones for fallen officers for charity. But I’m looking for a raccoon city police replica first. Like out of resident evil 2. If I ever get around to either I’ll update you guys

Mine's super DUPER scorched. Even more so than your darker variant. It is a bit excessive, though I may leave it. The early production run variant could become fairly rare.

That is true, it's almost guaranteed to be the rarer version if the production run goes on long enough!
