Dear Pyotr,
In the days before I built 5" gauge live steam ,I played with
HO railways. If I remember correctly Brake fluid was used to strip the
paint off commercial plastic locomotive body shells prior to re-painting
in a different livery. the plastic was left undamaged
Regards Ian

I have a small jar of brake fluid in which I soak rattle can nozzles
for a couple days, then blow them clean with compressed air.


Good tip, Gerry, if you'll pardon my double entendre.
