how do you take care of your joes?
 
im going through my joes here and see a lot of dust. this got me wondering how in the heck do you guys take such good care of yours? i keep mine in a plastic store case, but i do get them a lot and look at them and think of customs and stuff. i have some set up as a dio on the top shelf of my desk, so what are you doing that i am not? do you store yours and only take them out at pic time, if so there still gonna get some dirt. so im asking, what or how or whatever, do you clean yours with to make them look so shiny and new?

lol, really. ive done that too. another thing to add, has anyone ever thought or tried adding a layer of clear coat to your old figures? i had given it thought once, to preserve them better, but thought it would just junk them up to much

Well I've never spit on them. I've heard of people using clear coat, but haven't done that. I use soap and water with a tooth brush. Kinda simple.

All my figures are stored with their accessories in ziplock bags, which are in turn stored in plastic storage boxes, about 60 or 70 figures to a box, so they never get dusty. My vehicles, however are stored in the built in robe in the spare bedroom, and they get covered in dust even though the doors are kept closed. If it's real bad, I brush it off with a 2cm soft paint brush before I use 'em for pics. If they only have a light coating, I tend to leave it as it helps to make them look weathered and gritty, which I like.

You want the truth? My Cobras are literally thrown in a cardboard box and my Joes are in a plastic tub. Vehicles are around the house, hiding. The Jungle Strike Force customs were in a separate bag but now are in a dio case so they won't get dusty. At one time, I did display my Vipers and NeoVipers but I needed the space for other things. If they get dusty, I'll blow or use a rag.
