Re: Care and Cleaning of Armor

The magic eraser will restore the shine if it had a shine to begin with. If not you can use Novus plastic polish. Do a google search for plastic polishes or Novus itself.

Here is a linkhttps://www.novuspolish.com/store.html

Re: Care and Cleaning of Armor

Mr Clean Magic eraser will remove the black marks from the armor. It will make it shine as well. Use as directed. Cant say about the dust, never had that kind of problem.

In my opinion it is a waste of money to buy a Rubys and modify it.A Legion quality Vader costume you are looking at at least $3000.00 unless you make a lot of the parts yourself.I do...
