I clean my Future (Pledge Revive-It here in the UK at the moment) out with car windscreen washer fluid - the usual blue mix with a hint of alcohol in it. Dirt cheap by the gallon! I run a cup or two through into my sparmax jar, then dismantle the AB and wipe it all clean.

As for arm-chewing…

Looks excellent. What do you do about pin washing? I guess laying down a wash on matt paint is tricky.

Denimo that has not been my experience. In fact a water based acrilic transparent wash will tend to puddle and come out blotchy when done over a gloss finish. I don’t have that problem when doing a wash over a matte surface.

^Ditto^

I do washes over flat coats as well. No issues.

Agreed. This thread will completely change ( and improve I hope) my decaling and finishing.

Thanks everyone!!
