Very nice Benz, Alex. The paint looks like you have polished it, did you?
BTW does anybody polish his cars, especially the metallic ones? And which polish do they use? :?

Here are the three major yellow shades on the 27B Lambo: The common mustard, harder to find light yellow and rare lemon color. Also included is a Brazil issue in an even lighter yellow.

I use household 'Pledge' polish for the dusty and mildly dirty models, plain and metallic finishes, 'Armour-All' car polish is good on plastics like the wheels. If you have models with scuffed paint finish, you could use some 'T-Cut' car polish but use it very gently or you will have a very high-gloss finish when the model may in fact originally had a semi-gloss finish, and you won't be able to reverse the process!
