Hey guys, I left a landraider that was matte varnished sit in a display case for almost a year and now it has a layer of dust on it. I am told that the varnish traps dust to the paint. What is the most effective way to get dust off the land raider and get it back to it's rich color?

Thanks in advance.

Wash with water.

Use compressed air.

White vinegar.

Use a duster.

Any/all.

Will white vinegar affect the paint though?

BTW, thanks.

If the matte is solid, no not usually.

I've found that a clean "tank brush" is great for dusting.

Did you matte varnish the bottom as well? Test the vinegar out there.

Unfortunately I did not varnish the bottom of the LR. I have washed it twice in warm water and brushed it with a tank brush and it is almost back to the normal black shine that I like on my Black Legion tanks.

Thanks guys.
