These are the typical cleaning products. It should work -if needed.

Have you found any issues? Or any sign of grease after cleaning?

Spray the model liberally with Windex (window cleaner), then rinse gently with clear water. Allow the kit to fully dry under a plastic container or other dust-free environment. The model will be perfectly clean for airbrushing.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

I will test the windex by next model that is in the stash
