- After getting a good answer on why some Plasma Series Ecto's appear more burnt than others, we try a few different solutions to remove the extra smoke stains on some of the earlier factory examples. Watch to see how we did it and be sure to leave a comment on what you thought of the results!

After watching this video I did this using 80% rubbing alcohol and an antibacterial wipe, and the burnt look just wiped right off, needing hardly any elbow grease at all.
I guess it depends on the strength of the alcohol. My Afterlife Ecto looks way better now and more like it does in the trailers. Thank you 😊
Yeha seems the higher content level works wayyyy quicker
Keep upgrading your spare After Life Ecto1 love to see the final restoration!
I kinda want want to for sure!
I used 91% IPA a couple of weeks ago and it came of really easily. Very little rubbing needed. I used a couple of cotton balls and swiped from the window down the hood in a straight line. The rust and other paint apps don’t have time to come off. It looks very good and was done in under 10 mins.
That's good to know! Wish I would have went with a higher content level to make it easier on me.
Looks way better for sure. I like what you did better than the lighter color one as well. More detail popping.
Seeing how yours turned out, I might buy one. I was skeptical because of the price, but your updated one looks great.
Dude! That looks fantastic! Totally doing this to mine! Thanks!
Dude, that turned out fantastic! Great video Jay
Thanks Rileybob! Appreciate it!
Just had a 'burnt ' ecto -1 for my birthday! I'm definitely going to play around with this to remove some of the black from the front! Thank you!
Yeah you can def make it better!
nice work, the results looks better than the clean version! part 2 is needed, keep it up
Thanks Michael!!
You did good on the Car
You got you Ecto1 at and New Ecto1 go in the Fricehouse. Look nice okay love Dwight Jr 👍
Dude that looks so much better, definitely doing that to mine
Thanks Anthony! It’s super easy!
With the extra one, you could make it look new or go with custom 1A "what if" design.
Looks great.... please do a video showing some paint touch-up. Thank you
Looks really cool!
Thank you!
I like your fixed version better than the regular one.
Thanks Lucian!
Looks good!
Thanks Peteydubs!!
Looks even better. I preoderd mine in oktober and still nothing.
Yes video part 2
I think it looks great
Thank you!
I think I’m the only one on earth who really likes the dark version. It adds character to it and makes it more unique. Makes it stand out compared to my other ectos
I never got this item because of the burnt feature. It's interesting to see what people do with it though! :)
Totally get it all music!
If you’re feeling really daring you can take Ecto-1 apart and add the window tint to the inside
Whew idk if I’m brave enough! But maybe!
I like the crispy one better! But still a great video!
Hey some people like it extra crispy, I respect that lol
its just fine the way you did it
Thank you Jerome!
Go to town on it! You have the untouched version, so even if you do something that you’re not thrilled with, it’s not like it’s the only one you have. There’s a guy local who does police cars with lights. I’ve been wanting to see what he’d charge to do the ecto for me. He does all local police departments vehicles and ones for fallen officers for charity. But I’m looking for a raccoon city police replica first. Like out of resident evil 2. If I ever get around to either I’ll update you guys
Yeah working lights would be awesome!
It was 30% off at my Target today.
I like the way your version looks as well. Interested to see if you took all the rust paint off to make it all more classic ecto1.
Yeah, I tried to leave some of the grime there, but I think if you spent enough time with you you could get it to fully clean!
Im gonna say if i find one of these in a goodwill i just might turn it unto somethin else or keep it. But also when stuff like that ends up there it dont normally come it in one piece so there might be missing parts and stuff.
I already have one and its the chard version but i will be looking for one of these
I rubbed off the burn from the hood on mine, but I think they used dark brown plastic for the front because I can’t get to the grey underneath. It could be the % of my alcohol wipes tho
How about fitting working lights? I'm looking at doing mine but there isn't a great deal of information how to or any kits that I can see for sale!
Does the magic eraser leave faint scratches ?
I saw this done on pb props video looks better some good tricks to improve it
I’ll def check it out!
So will the 02s be rare?
Mine is a less burnt one.
I think the new mod looks fantastic! I think you should leave it alone now. No more mods. One thing though is, altering this model makes it lose some of its collector value. Still, it looks great! Good job!
Wouldn't the manufacturer defect make those more unique seeing that they had to fix the issue. I would think those would be more rare at some point.
It’s a great point Michael, only time will tell!
Thought the same. Ain't touching that burn!
Do the New Fright Feature Ghostbusters Figures fit inside this version of the Ecto-1 ?
Unfortunately no they do not, the car is too small.
@@GeekDadLife thanks for the info 👍I subscribed
Mine's super DUPER scorched. Even more so than your darker variant. It is a bit excessive, though I may leave it. The early production run variant could become fairly rare.
That is true, it's almost guaranteed to be the rarer version if the production run goes on long enough!
well mine is 11161... and it is darker
Or the 03s
Hey can star Wars figures,, or gi Joes fit into the ecto-1?
Unfortunately they do not, the biggest I could fit in was a MASK figure
One CZcamsr showed you can use hand sanitizer (70% alcohol) too.
That makes sense, the isopropyl alcohol is 70% as well!
@@GeekDadLife he was using 99proof alcohol and wanted to show that you could sanitizer if you couldn't find pure isopropyl alcohol
I don't understand why they didn't just give us an Ecto in perfect condition anyways. Like I understand that it's that way the movie but realistically nobody wants their toys to look like that
I totally agree, aside from jeans and worn in guitars I don’t know people that want things to look worn out lol
i think because they had the hasbro ecto 1 in mind at the the time in perfect white maybe
@@bethanybeth8429 probably something along those lines
What if the stamp is 11421!? Pls help anyone
That means it was made this year, 1 for 2021 so it's a more recent production model.
Hmmm not too bad!! 👍
Thanks Brad!!
I don't go Car
“CRISPY!”
Lol
91-99% alcohol would probably be far more effective.
нахера брать горелую чтоб потом ее чистить?
