    My wife recently picked up an M70AB2; Century's step-up AK from the WASR.

    I painted the forend fairy-tale pink for her, (she chose the color,) and that turned out pretty decent. However, I do have a problem.

    During reassembly, (as many people would have been able to predict,) some various gun oils and residues got on the forend. Not much; and typically, against a regular black one, you'd never see them.

    But on fairy-tale pink...it stands out.

    Any ideas what will get it off without harming the paint? I used Krylon Fusion for Plastics, (the forend is black polymer,) and it is quite dry at this point, as I painted it yesterday.

    Obligatory pic; I'll post more pictures later. :)

    My go to for most any cleaning job is Awesome. It is available at dollar stores for a buck a bottle. Looks like lemonaid in color but is the BEST cleaner I have ever used. If you have never used it it should be given a try. I am sure ity will be a favorite for cleaning anywhere.
