Mmmm, maybe make a secret mix of WD-40, Silicon-spray, Cockpit-spray and black shoe-polish....mmmmm......sound like "Retro-black" instead of "Retro-bright "

I did try the WD-40 30 minutes ago and the result ist amazing on the Moon Patrol. as you can see not only the black shines again.. but also the other colours. I will let it try even more now and we will see what is left from it.

honestly, i wouldn't use the wd-40. admittedly, it looks great on the pic, but since this stuff is made to lubricate / grease items and NOT to make them shine (contrary to cockpit spray or wax products), i'd be very careful with it!!!

Not so bad compared to what it looked liked when we picked it up.

i was very careful. this morning i used it on a tiny part of the panel... acutally on a place that you can not see because it faces the floor when you are standing right before the cab. after half an hour I thought that the result was good enough to give it a try.

I hope it was okay that I used it on ChrisChris Q-Bert cause this baby was gone for real. Turned out to be great.

This morning I also went on Amazon.de to buy the Nigrin you told me about.

[Q*ris]

Thanks so much for that!!!
 
Maybe I should leave my cab a bit longer at your place?

yeah... it might work again the longer it stays... cause i love q-bert, too.

hopefully you bought the right stuff (smell-wise), because there are many different brands. this is the one i am using - bought it at OBI

What WD40 does is repel humidity but it does leave a thin oil membrane when everything else has evaporated, so, indeed, probably not the best place to apply it.

WD40 = "Water Displacement, 40th attempt". They didn't brainstorm long for that name

yeah... the people from bremen have seen it´s condition when it was stored there. it is a difference I can tell you.
since the cab is located in my shop I thought I give it a try. People love the 5 cabs up here. At least 15 people each day ask me how much they are and if they can buy one.

It was not pigeon shit, it was a very expensive product used to protect the CPO during the transport, the same they use at NASA actually.
