I, like you, use Simple Green. I like the ability to dispose of left over product easily and without the EPA black helicopters swarming over my house- uh, so to speak.
My procedure is to use the SG straight. It hasn’t effected any of the plastic of any model, to date. This includes some OLD Revell (1950s era) and some newer current era plastics. The process will take about two-three days (the older the paint the longer it takes). Just be patient. It gives you that "special time" to rearrange your stash in date-name order, clean your paint booth, count your clamps and other very important things.
Regardless have fun.
