I put the parts I want stripped into the Super Clean overnight and pick them out the next morning stripped of any kind of paint known to have been put on a model. Rarely do I even have to scrub with a toothbrush (the models that is)

I always use C.S.C. to remove paint ( I screw up alot ), it should take the MM paint off with no problem. Where I find it takes longer is when I use the Tamiya spays paints. It can also depend on how many coats you put on your model whether AB or Spray canned before it will soften, so take that into consideration. If you were not aware, C.S..C will not damage clear parts, so you can dump any clear part into it with out worring.

ditto on my part Dana... as was mentioned, you might want to be wearing gloves when handling it. It will dry and crack them for a week or more after contact. Just brush brush brush it off. It's good stuff, it will even eat off lacquer!

I use it all the time, and I've used it on acrylics, enamel (specifically Model Master), and laquer and haven't had any problem with it removing any of them.

I pour some in a container and let the parts soak for a while ("While" tends to vary from a few minutes to an hour or so). On stubborn areas I scrub it with an old toothbrush. When done rinse in running water and let the parts dry.

Unlike oven cleaner there are no noxious fumes to deal with and unlike brake fluid it won't eat up everything in its path. Just don't leave it on your hands for long.

Dana I've never used Castrol Super Clean, but I have used Easy-Off oven cleaner and it works a treat with MM enamels and does not damage the styrene.

To use, just put the part in a container, cover it with oven cleaner then just leave it for a few minutes and hey presto.

Cheers

I read where someone suggested this as a paint stripper. Well, it doesn't seem to be working. Do you put it on and let it sit awhile or something?

BTW, I'm using MM enamels.
