Cleaning your Transformer

Post by Jive Turkey »

This has probably been asked before... but I was wondering what's the best way to clean your transformer? I have a complete Jetfire, but I don't want to use something that might damage it or make it yellow.

Any advice will be appreciated... Thanks!

Well I am not an expert on this by far but I think window cleaner works well. This of course is just my opinion. I spray a light amount on a paper towel and rub the figure gently. Wait I just opened myself up for all kinds of pokes . Oh well BRING THEM ON!!!!!!!!!!

i bought a pre-loved G1 Prime that was a little gritty in the gaps. I used paint brush with pairly light bristles to wipe away the grime, then finished it off with a rub down with a static towl.

Take it a part. Yes I said it. Even if your not mechaniclly inclined it is isn't too hard. Just don't force anything open as there may be screws hiding under stickers, as was the case with a G1 slingshot. Then I used a cup of water to dip a q-tip to clean away any grime. Just squeeze out excess water. Try to dry the part right after you clean to prevent water spots.
Good luck.
