Is Fairy Power Spray (FSP from now on) any good if a model has been varnished with citadel satin varnish? I use the satin to lock in the decals and weathering stages so the beast has has two thin coats of the stuff. Thanks in advance.

Then just get an old tooth brush and scrub them, the paint goes all rubber like and comes off pretty easy. Once the paint is off just give them a quick rinse and they'll be as good as new. You don't need to soak them though.

I ask as I've got some guardsmen I want to strip. It is a cleaning spray you can buy in the UK. I believe in the US&A something similar would be "simple green".

I've seen a few that cater to english immigrants that miss the old english products in the past.
