Chris, it's an all-purpose cleaner. I've no idea what the active ingredients are, but I left the models to soak in it for about 15 minutes and the paint came off quite easily. I suspect if I'd left them in longer it would have been even easier. It didn't mark or harm the clear resin.

No idea if its available in the UK or Europe. It is biodegradable and non-toxic.

Probably on a par with the waitrose brand of non aerosol spray oven and hob stuff I've now taken to using. That is not over harmful to skin and is useful on most surfaces too ( mr muscle spray aerosol oven cleaner is harmful and has chemicals in it )

AK Interactive Paint stripper.
this is perfection..even on clear parts.
If fact, even used it on door handles for my house as a result of sloppy DIY
