Good Morning,
Following closely. I am always having an 'Aha!' moment watching JNewboy's weathering and painting work. Herr Doc, 70? You've got at least 30 good yrs left to have modeling fun in and possible more.
regards,
Painless
...Here for the Dawn...

Thanks guys! The trick to it is do you fade color after or before wash/Magic Grime? I do both. I put a layer of this pigment then hairspray so the decals are sealed and the Magic Grime wont overly stick then apply the Magic Grime. After the Magic Grime is removed Ill add some more pigment and then seal with dullcote.

Moving along, this is after hairspray and wheels painted.

Seeing your use of Mig cement pigment, I used a cement colored Pan Pastel, and I am pleased with the results. Thanks for the tip. Now on to your Magic Grime!

Scrubbing on the Magic Grime..

Wiped off... Notice I left the wheels undone for now so you can see the difference in color from what has been done and undone.
Brilliant shadows, grime/filth collections around objects... I use to spend a week doing what I can do in a half hour. I shouldn't even sell the stuff! haha!

Yip, your stuff is good !
And yes, you should still sell it !!
For me it’s a heavy weatherers preference, a light westherer may be better using a filter or at worst a light spray of wash.
But I’ve used the stuff for german yellow and the stuff for green & both are great.
I’ve not used the white wash version yet, but I soon will
