Removing paint from clear parts

The drill used to be to use finer and finer sandpaper until you get to about 1500 -2000 grit or so, then using a polish (toothpaste makes an acceptable polish, and removes well with soap and water).  The discovery of the magic effects of future, however, make it a lot easier.  Just sand it with 600, maybe a quick cleanup with 1000, then carefully brush future over the transparencies.  That should clean them up pretty well.

Generally I used 2 different ways of removing paint, Pine-sol and Simple Green. The latter is safe for clear pieces but I would not recommend Pine-Sol for clear pieces after seeing what it does to colored styrene and you should leave any pieces soaking in Simple Green for at least 2 weeks.

SUPER CLEAN in the purple container, available at most auto parts stores and Home Depot works great for removing old paint. Let soak for several hours or overnite, use an old toothbrush to remove residue, wear gloves if use have sensitive skin.

Thanks for the advice gents. Because it was 1/200 scale I thought I would use simple green because it is easily available, and it worked a treat. Thanks again
