I've used Fairy Power Spray on plastic and metal figs, it has always worked fine. Not used the nail polish remover. Have used Dettol, which works, but is a pain to work with and leaves a bad smell.

So to answer your question I would say from what Ive found out on the internet and from experience Fairy Power Spray is the best for people in the UK

Great stuff, Thanks Jim!

I have a lot of green stuff work on a lot of my models which I'm dithering about on painting for precisely this reason (doing the greenstuffing again if I wasn't happy with the paintjob would be hellish).

I tired the Power Spray option a week ago. Great results. Used it on a plastic Russ tank. No harm to plastic at all... the paint comes off real easy. I left it in for an hour and had great results... I doubt anything would happen to plastic if you left it in for 24hours. Not sure about the green stuff though. For metal I always used nail varnish remover. Never had any problems. Leave it in overnight and your metal models are as good as new.

Great results but at £28 compared to power spray at £3... Power spray does that exact same and is £25 cheaper!
