Cleaning your canopy

Post by Fridgy »

Hi everyone

So I had a brain fart last night

While masking and painting the canopy for my F-35,
I forgot to put my gloves on :bash:

So now my canopy has finger prints all over it

Is the any way I can clean them off that will not affect the Alclad clear kote it has been dipped in??

Cheers

Edit: also it has some Tamiya tape adhesive residue to remove as well

I have tried that before on my Lamborghini build and the ipa eats the klear kote

Did have some luck with tamiya’s x20 enamel thinner and buffing with a soft cloth
