I meant to try one previously recommended, cant remember what it was though. A surface cleaner or something?
While we're here before i test it and ruin one... Is it a bad idea to use a brass wire brush on plastics? Works so well on metals you dont even need the varnish remover.

I should imagine it'll wreck a plastic! Brass or any wire brush, that's why I asked coz I've got two or three int garage.

Brass isnt as abrasive as steel remember...but i dunno how much the plastic can take. I know it takes FOREVER using a hard bristle toothbrush though.

Yea fair play! Well I thought that a tooth brush may be too soft.
After Xmas ill post a few pics of some dunked minis, purely cos
I've never done it and I've got stacks that need dunking.

I found the tooth brush too soft, the thin I have found to be most effective is the (Dun, Dun, Duh!) GW brush in the clean up kit, and the mould line remover is have decent as well...

A rotary brass wire brush is a no-no, Adkenpachi!
A normal one, I'm not too sure about.

to remove paint from plastic, use 'simply green', available in Lowe's/Home depot etc; have it in a container, soak for a day, clean with brush, repeat a few times for best result.
