I have a great VW friend, Tetsuo Moriya, who is the owner of the Sansuiso Moriya
Sawatari Spa in Japan. Tetsuo ask me if I could make him a scale model representing
a VW Service Bus that is used at the hotel. I was able to secure a vintage BANDAI
VW Ambulance Bus that was in poor, in need of repair condition and then do a custom
Restor-Version process on it to represent the hotel service bus. Check out the start to
finish “Rats to Riches” photos and there was even a special shipping box made as well. Popcorn

Hi Barny55 . . . I use a fine wire wheel brush carefully and then polish with FLITZ Popcorn

No clear varnish as the FLITZ seals and protects the metal finish Popcorn
