Hello again.
Has anyone found a good application for making the tyres shine?
Ive used all the silicone gel and the tyres seem to have gone dull again over time.
Cheers in advance.

Try Armoral as used on real cars - it's amazing!

Where are you keeping your MP4? Keep it away from sunlight (yeah I know, what sunlight!!) also any heat source I'e radiators.. In the build it does state that you might have to apply every know and then but not that soon!

As Roy mentions Armoral is good.. just don't get the black tint stuff as it will grey the White Lettering
