Hi Butch; While I have used brake fluid in the past, there are enough reports of plastics, especially ABS from Asia, being destroyed by it that I steer clear unless I have used it on the same manufacturer's shells before.
I've used alcohol, and hear good reports on oven cleaner and a couple of model hobby paint strippers. Don has mentioned Tide detergent a could of times, but I have not tried it yet. Pieter E.
