Yup....I'm my area I saw a total of about 4 in as many stores. Saw the mustang twice hanging by its lonesome......Michigan gets hit pretty hard in all quarters by hoarders....any flavor of the month is almost always gone in am instant and stays gone.....I had to buy the leap year car off eBay.....never saw one at the several walmarta,kmarts etc. In my area....even have a friend who hits several on his way to and back from work and he never saw those....yet collectors in other states claimed to see that one I'm bunches....

This is how most of the youtube "how to" videos are set up to work. Where you refill the used up marker bodies with acetone. I found them to be used straight out of the package as easier and more effective. No fumes. No mess essentially.

I actually use the new dry erase markers as they come out of the package.

I buy mine mainly at walmart, but an office supply store or dollar store has them as well. I have broad tip, fine and extra fine versions now. I also have different colors that I use on different body colors, but it doesnt seem to have made a difference - except the one white body as above.

I primarily use tissues to wipe off each swipe, but paper towels work as well. It takes from 6 to 10 individual swipe and then wipe - to remove most tampos. Extra swipes (or extra rubbing with the marker tip) did not seem to make a difference in the removal process for me.

Premium castings with clear coats and paint tampos take longer, but work the same way. Good luck!

Well, since (I think) I have every variation of the '70 Chevelle wagon issued to date I guess I'll have to find one of these too. As for the others, I'll wait to see them in person. Mainline-quality cars with different decos and fancy-schmancy card art generally aren't worth a premium to me. If they were metal/metal or on Real Riders I wouldn't object as much.
