All of my "special" cars are in lighted showcases, display cases, or still in the original boxes/packaging. The ones on the shelves are "dusted" about once a month with one of them fancy, feather-like dusters. Not really sure what it's made of, but it werks purdy well.
I have waxed a few in the past. I use a product called "California Car Shine", or sumpthin like that. I'd have to go look.
My collection is now just under 2000(1960 or so).
Click on my "See my Vettes & Toys" link, and look at pages 3 and 4. These are old pics, but you get the idea.
I actually have more cash in the toys than I do in both of my real 'Vettes!

Someday, they will be displayed in a more prominent location. Some are in the original boxes.
No, they don't get dusted.

And no, I don't wax them.
