Sorry if this a stupid question, but I don't recall reading yes or no, and I'm too chicken to just try it.

What say you fine folks? Thanks in advance.

If they are unpainted though, you would probably be better served with simply using a detergent like Simple Green as opposed to an alkaline degreaser like Purple Power. Although it is relatively diluted and you will be diluting it even more - there isn't any particular reason to use the caustic chemicals to deal with mild cleaning like removing fingerprints and molding residues.

Also keep in mind that many consumer grade (and even many commercial grade) ultrasonerators are not rated for use of caustic cleaners like Sodium Hydroxide. In short order they can damage controls, the basin and other components. Some are - but you will probably want to double check.

That said - don't get taken in by the different terms like Restic, Bones or whatever PP is calling their vinyl (I think they just call it plastic). Those are just a PVC plastic - not a polyurethane resin. They have different rules for working with them than what are traditionally referred to as resins (and different rules from the HIPS that is traditionally referred to as plastic).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775254.page GMT de-gunking resin models, never had any problems with it. I think the one at the studio just has a bit of washing up liquid and water in it. Seems to do the job.

But yeah, like the poster above me said, Mantic resin isn't "proper" resin. It doesn't really need washing. Very occasionally you get one that's a bit greasy. But normally they are fine. I've painted several hundred mantic minis, and only had a handful which needed a quick wash.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775661.page GMT FW models with no problems. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775680.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6775763.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6777811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592502/6777811.page GMT
