Question Castrol Super Clean in the UK

Does anyone know if Castrol Super Clean is available in the UK? Do the major auto stores like Halfords stock it, or am I going to have to try the smaller local shops?

The reason for this? Using cheap enamel sprays on my Tamiya 350Z. Just when I thought I'd found the perfect colour...

Definitely a lesson learnt! :o

Ive never seen it in the UK, i dont think its available here??? If its enamel paint u need to strip try using brake fluid or see if they stock a product called 'Modelstrip' at your local model shop.

Whereabout's are u?

Thanks flyonthewall! If I use brake fluid, should I be wary of damaging the plastic? And will it strip the primer OK?

BTW - I'm near Nottingham.

It should be fine and if u used enamel primer too it will remove that as well...

Nottingham is very nice, stayed there for a weekend very recently - do u go to Gee Dee models? Its a good shop.

I hadn't heard of Gee Dee models. Whereabouts is it?

I tend to get my equipment from a little model shop just around the corner from work, although I've switched to getting my kits over the internet. Got the Tamiya 350Z and S2000 VTec for 27 quid, delivered in about 3 weeks from HLJ. Would have cost at least 36 quid from shops over here.

I forget the name of the road but its always advertised in the back of models mags, check yellow pages too. Its a good shop with loads of stock.

Have you found the address for Gee Dee if so can you let me have it as I am not a million miles from Nottingham (37 to be precise) and my local shop (Hobbins in Lincoln) frankly are a pile of shite!! He's okay for major things but anything else like forget it!

I got the following from Yell.Com:

Gee Dee Models Ltd
19-21, Heathcoat St
Nottingham Nottinghamshire NG1 3AF



I have the same problem with my local shop, alright for everyday stuff but rubbish for anything else. That's why I switched to HLJ for my kits, at least you get a good choice from there.
