Pre War Tin Plate Polish Or Wax

Classic Toy Trains Forum
1

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know what the owners of prewar tinplate engines and trains use to polish these trains, especially before they put them up for auction?

What ever product they use, puts a glass like shine on these trains, even when the paint finish becomes dull over all these years.

Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

John

I’ve used Howards ‘Feed-n-Wax’ with good results. Most auto polish is too much for minature trains, plus the chalky residue is hard to get out of the nooks and crannies.

Thanks for the info. CJ, I have heard about this Howard Feed and Wax from someone else on the internet. I have also heard that Pledge might be good.

Can you tell me where I would purchase the Howards Feed and Wax?

Thank You,

John
