That's amazing, I will have to get some. Do you know why it's called a Red Eye? Is it because some of the red decals resemble an eye? Just wondering.

If you want to clean her up make sure you don't use any harsh cleaning chemicals on her paint or you will turn the decals to silver :shock: :shock: :shock: . A wonderful thing to use is regular old sewing machine oil. Rub it on with your fingers, let it sit for a while and then wipe it off with a soft cloth or cotton balls. Afterward you can use a good quality car paste wax (without pumice) to protect her.
For her metal parts I use a product called Maas Metal Polish. What a difference you will see!
