    Aug 7, 2008 - Safely removing Rub 'n' Buff? #1

    Wondering if any of you have any idea how to safely remove Rub 'n' Buff from resin without damaging?

    I can't use anything abrasive or hard or it will damage and lose intricately small details. I was considering soaking but had no idea what in!

    I have never used Rub 'n' Buff personally so any advice on the quirks of its application and removal would be most welcome.

    I used electric hand buffer to remove it. It causes enough friction to warm up the RnB to remove it. That was on a smooth helmet though.

    I know I've removed it before but don't remember what I used. It was either warm water and dish detergent or rubbing alcohol, most likely

    Rub and buff is a a clay product. You can just use dish soap and water. Should come right off. Just like when you wash it off your hands after using it. You might need a tooth brush if it had fine detail. Soap and water should not hurt the paint unless it is water base paint.
    Hope that helps.
