To get rid of the release agent, I have been using Gojo hand cleaner.

It has orange oil, and pumice, and works great at removing the release agents, and prepping the parts for paint.  I use a toothbrush to work into every nook and cranny, and throroughly rinse the pieces.  And I mean throroughly.  The pumice will get in every crack, but with some diligence, it can be removed.

 My two cents, worth slightly less in Canada.

here are two places i use a lot.  

As fro building and such.  Remeber towet sand the resin parts as the dust is very bad and will get everywhere.  Make so you clean the parts really good as there will be some sort of release agent  on the kit and that will effect the way th epaint sticks later in the build.

 

Good luck
