Default Tamiya polycarbonate cleaner

I don't think his tamiya product is well known...

I can't find any distributors in the uk, so I order it from hong kong.

This is great stuff to remove polycarbonate paint! Only use sparingly and with some firm rubbing action the paint actually comes off!

I've used it recently for a df03 shell which I made a mess with!

Has anyone had experience with this?

#87118 is the part number

It's actually called tamiya polycarbonate cleaner, but it will actually remove paint even from old shells.

You can find it on eBay!

On the description it says # Also handy to clean away overspray and repair paint jobs.
May have to give it a try.

Break fluid works pretty damn well too and is very easy to get.

Jon.. I'm really wanting to try some of you're products, the masking fluid looks excellent... do you or are you planning on using other payment methods other than PayPal?

Thanks

J

Ahh excellent..did not see that...Masking fluid ordered

Oh and to add to my Break fluid suggestion... remember to use gloves and let the shell be submerged in it for a good few hours. Does not work on pre-printed shells but on painted ones it's pretty good.

Hmmm... Ain't been keen on brake fluid cos it melts shells and causes cloudiness. Anyway each to their own!
