Streaking Grime is the modeller's secret weapon for that lived-in look — the dirty, downward streaks of accumulated dust, oil and weather that run down the sides of any hard-worked vehicle. Draw it down from bolts, hooks and panel edges, then soften it out for subtle, natural-looking dirt trails that break up flat paintwork beautifully. One of the most useful weathering effects you can own.

Apply thin vertical lines below raised details, then drag a damp brush downward to soften — the trick is subtlety, letting the streaks fade as they fall.
The lived-in look straight from the pot. Pairs perfectly with Vallejo washes and the wider Weathering Effects range for layered realism.
