'Pine Sol' - very handy kitchen/laundry product that can be picked up at the supermarket (often on special too !)
Not as aggressive as Scalemaster or Chameleon so several soakings may be needed to achieve the desired result.
After any soakings in these products, wash the model in warm soapy water (to neutralize the reaction) and scrub with a toothbrush to loosen stubborn paint.
When using any of these products, thin vinyl/latex protective gloves are a good idea as they can cause dermatitis to some sensitive skins.
Hope this is of help to you.


this what I read tokk about 4 to 6 hours for the lenses to come clean and ther was scrubbing involved I used a tooth brush

USE RUBBER GLOVES
