| Simple Green or any ammonia based window cleaner work just fine....soak for an hour or so; give the mini a quick scrub: & rinse.  | |

| do NOT use acetone on plastic models! it will damage them!
wound cleaning liquor works almost as well. soak for a day or two then scrub. break fluid also works. i have not tried simple green stuff, but i have heard it works well too. | |

| As was stated above, Simple Green works wonders. Let the soak for a day or so, and grab an old toothbrush and scrub away the old paint. Windex should work as well. | |

| Simple Green for certain. So easy, works very well on plastic or metal.  | |

| We don't have SimpleGreen here, but we have Dettol, which works wonders. | |
