For those beloved Hot Wheels Redlines with tarnished bases, here's a simple DIY solution that works wonders. Mix together equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Let the base of your Redline soak for about 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse under cold water and dry thoroughly. This method is gentle on the cars and effective at removing tarnish without damaging the finish.
Honestly, I've found that the best way to keep those bases from tarnishing in the first place is to handle your Hot Wheels as little as possible. Display them in a case to avoid constant touching and the oils from your skin accelerating the tarnishing. Prevention is better than cure!
I tried toothpaste once on a really tarnished base, and it actually worked! Just put a tiny bit on a soft toothbrush, scrub gently, then rinse and dry. It's a bit unconventional, but hey, if you're out of vinegar, it's worth a shot.
