I really must love my Mach1 to have bought not just one, but two more! 
The one in the back is a 1/18th-scale Mach1 from Auto Art. It's a 2003 model (no 40th Anniversary badge) but is quite detailed. The interior even feels like carpet.
The little one in the front is a 1/64th-scale Zip Zap of a 2004 Mach1 that I bought from Radio Shack.
And here you can see the size difference:
Both were sprayed and wiped with Meg's Final Detail, while the 1/18th-scale one got a couple coats of Natty's Wax.
The 1/1th-scale Mach1 I did over the weekend. Nothing really new, just my usual combo.
Process:
1. QEW - love this stuff. I can do it in my garage and not need the driveway.
2. SSR 2.5 w/cutting pad
3. SSR 1 w/polishing pad
4. VM w/finishing pad
5. EX w/caranuba w/finishing pad
6. (24 hrs. later) EX w/caranuba by hand
7. (24 hrs. later) Natty's Wax by hand
8. (24 hrs. later) Natty's Wax by hand
It's not perfect, there are still some light scratches and light hazing I have to remove, but oh well, maybe another time.
So does anyone else have model cars of their ride? And does anyone know how to take care of light scratches in a die-cast model car paint? Well, enjoy! :wavey
