Chevy II Posted Monday at 07:59 PM Posted Monday at 07:59 PM I see people are recommending to clean resin parts with Westley’s Bleach White, but the original isn’t available anymore. Has been replaced with Black Magic brand. I have read they are not the same.   What are you guys using to clean your resin parts? Has anyone tried Simple Green?

Why use such harsh cleaners? I use soap and water. Just cleaning off the release agent, By the way, what release agent do you casters use?
bobss396 Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM I just use warm water and dishwashing soap, likely Palmolive. I'll let it soak a bit, then I use an old toothbrush to scrub it. I even do this with any 3D printed part I get. I just did a body that had all sorts of crud left in the corners.

I believe it uses similar ingredients to Castrol Super Clean. Simple Green is milder than CSC, but CSC can really mess up some resins, so I would caution against using Simple Green, too.
espo Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Have you tried Dawn Dish Soap? This product is often used to remove crude oil residue from waterfowl without hurting the bird but dissolves the oil. Might also contact the caster of any resin bodies or parts you are using to see what they recommend as some cleaning products can and will damage curtain types of resin parts and they should know what would work the best for cleaning their castings.
Rick L Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Most resin castings are cast with silicone based release agents. Soapy water or isopropyl alcohol works fine for most.
