Thanks.

You could try eucalyptus oil if you can get it. Works a treat locally

Is it all the print or just a little bit? It is much easier to remove the whole
print than a selective amount.
Eucalyptus oil has already been mentioned, and other similar oils also work (lavender
and so on). You can also use very dilute acetone (with water) or rubbing alcohol.
Toothpaste also works too using it as a weak abrasive, and even some rubbers/erasers
will remove prints.
If you are just removing a little of the print, I find masking the wanted area
then using a soft abrasive like an eraser gives best results, as the oils can
change the surface shininess a little and it shows if you just do it in one area.
Practice on an old part first to see what works best for you.

I would like to remove everything on the torso (some rare colours that don't
exist in monochrome).
Thanks to both of you.

| I have used "Brasso" which is for polishing metals, and it worked fine.
You can also try cymbal polish, if you know any drummers!

I get very good results with Novus plastic polish. It takes off printing, eliminates
clouding in clear parts, and brings back surface shine in just about everything.
Won’t fix tooth marks though!
