THanks for the info on Simple Green, will have to try it. Also super glue was mentioned and a simple way to seperate parts is to leave the miniature in the freezer overnight. In the morning you can just pop the pieces apart. Something to do with the freezing that the super glue cannot standup.

Nail varnish remover works great as well, you can have a model stripped in under an hour from start to finish. You dip it for about 20 minutes and acrylic paints turn a bit rubbery and can be peeled of. You will need a toothbrush or something similar though to remove paint that is in fine detailed parts or deep crevases

@MrPieman1996 - the comments below about Brake Fluid and Dettol are correct ... both can be used, but I would only use them as a last resort

@RubbishInRubbishOut what else could i use then????

Simple green is great! I have found though and it's not a big thing but sometimes on metal parts the simple green can break down super glue. So your metal models may come apart. Just glue them back together. :)

@MrPieman1996 - no, I'm not sure about the UK .... sorry :)

I was told that if you leave your models in the cleaner for too long it will remove details from the models just wonder if this is true or not, any answers would be appreciated

@shimpooer - interesting, I've never had any results to prove that. I've had miniatures sitting in simple green for months and never had a problem. I wouldnt recommend that, its simply because I'm lazy and have a shocking short-term memory, its easy to forget things I have done.

I've also found Easy-Off Bam Power Cleaner Degreaser works well on both plastic and metal without breaking down superglue.
