Automotive Blue Magic Headlight Polish. Works like a charm, and also provides a protective coating.

Jet.... Skyfire

Using my own figure from when I was a child, due to it's crisp white glistening plastic, I then proceeded to aquired a near complete figure which was starting to yellow from a good friend, and immediately started tearing them apart.

After repairing my friends, as his arm was severed in battle, I started to vigorously disassemble, clean, and remove paint applications for a more accurate look.
