There's tons of threads at TFW, recent ones as well, on this topic. There's one angle to the this, though, that I never thought of until somebody over mentioned it:
What are the potential 'side effects' of using Future on your toys? It apparently cleans up easily and all that, but could you imagine if at some point it becomes hazy, or something like that? Kinda like we're lacking 'long term studies' of the effects of Future on chrome parts
I'm sure using it in the joints is no biggie (and most likely the chrome will be fine too) but I went out and bought all the stuff I needed to do just this without thinking about any potential negatives down the road. I mean, I plan on keeping these for literally decades.
But what's worse?...I just wish someone at Takara would just come up with some damn chrome that wears like the G1 stuff. I've got Insecticons from back in the day that still look fresh on the chrome bits...well, not the heavily played with ones, but let's just say that from mere display, they look fantastic.
The latest bunch of MPs could learn a lesson from ol' Kickback and the gang.
