Ultrasonic cleaner

Looks like we have a lack of trial and error. If I were to take a stab at the best course of action I would suggest the following:

 

1) Soak the models in a strong degreaser like Superclean or Purple Power for a week at full strength (forget about Simple Green, its not strong enough). I have done this alone in Castrol Superclean and its more than enough to remove and losen any kind of paint.

 

2) After the week long soak in superclean, put the models in a heated ultrasonic cleaner filled with pure superclean or Purple Power for 15 minutes.

 

3) If the above is not enough, use an ultrasonic toothbrush like a Sonicare to get in between the crevices.

 

I think these steps will settle the whole "how to strip paint issue" that seems to come up daily on the B&C. I also wouldn't put Dettol in a heated ultrasonic cleaner.

 

Anybody experimented with this yet?

Just go for the full cleaning power of a pressure washer.

I used ours recently to strip an ebay predator and it ripped the paint off after a couple of days in flash cleaner.

The only thing to watch is dont get your hand in front of the spray as it will take your skin off (as I know well!!)
