I use acrylic washes over enamel paints and haven't had any problem bringing out detail. Oil and acrylic paints will both work, just don't put it on too heavily. After I put on a glosscote, I use a very fine brush and only put the wash in the seams and around raised detail. I think this way shows off the detail better than washing the entire vehicle. However you decide to wash the vehicle, just remember to use a different wash medium. For example, oil wash over acrylic paints and an acrylic wash over enamel paints. The thinner for an oil was (I use Turpenoid) will eat away enamel paint, but won't have an effect on acrylic paint. This is from my experience.
