Today's Classic Kiddie Ride Tip; Paint finish cleaning and protection. The finish on your Kiddy Ride is the same you would find on a high end classic car. We prefer to use '303 Products Speed Detailer' frequently to keep the body clean. A 6mo- yearly hand detailing with a good quality carnauba wax will ensure a high gloss and easy cleaning. Eagle 1's Never Dull will help your the chrome on your antique carnival ride stay gleaming as well.
