VMS, Black Track Pro 2.0 - TC04

Metal tracks require special treatment and it's easy to ruin them with poor "burnishing" fluids or homemade concoctions. With VMS Black Track Pro, a proven blackening system you are guaranteed that your tracks will look amazing!

USE: 1. Put on protective gloves and eye protection. Pour the blackening fluid into a receptacle. 2. Using tweezers submerge compatible tracks in the fluid for 5-10 min. Disperse any air pockets using a brush! Flip the tracks and again disperse any air pockets, allow another 5-10 min. Once the tracks are blackened to your satisfaction take them out, rinse with running water and dry using a paper towel and hairdryer. 3. Burnish the tracks using a shortened stiff flat hog brush (scrubber brush) or a soft metal brush to achieve the likeness of steel. Tested on tracks by Friulmodel and Masterclub. Tracks by other brands may react differently - you proceed at your own risk! When in doubt test on a single track to check if compatible.
