southwestforests Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I'd hand wash it in Woolite since abrasive cleansers like Clorox Soft Scrub would scratch the surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 A wash to clean it or a weathering wash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The gentlest kind of detail wash is done with diluted watercolor paints or ground up (dry!) pastels in water. It cleans up easily with a wet paper towel. But it also doesn't stick in the panel lines great so you need care during the cleaning phase and you need an overcoat or it will come off with handling. I recommend using coffee filters for cleaning as they are not fuzzy so they don't go down into details and they don't leave fibers behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
