After soaking an old AMT 29 Ford Model A Roadster circa 1963 in Purple Power for four days, I tried to scrube it clean with a nail brush and a tooth brush, but the foul grey/black grease that was caked on it still wouldn't come off. So I got some fresh clean Purple Power and put the kit back to soaking for three more days, and it finally loosened up the old caked on mold release. When I started scrubing some of that gunk came off in blobs of grease, and some of it I had to flake off with a sharpened hobby stick/narrow popsycle sticks they sell to use in craft stores. I finally got all of the parts clean, but the Purple Power basin, and the basin with dish detergent water were black with that gunk.
What I want to know is if any of you have ever had an old kit that was this hard to clean? I have cleaned up several copies of this kit in the past, and never found one this bad before. This was the Issue of the kit that had most of the AlaKart partsstill in it , including the Roadster Pickup body!
CHEERS!
