Cleaning Woes

Posted in Custom Workstation

Admittedly, when I first started out, I never washed and cleaned my figures. They always turned out fine (at least for my standards at the time), so I never bothered. However, with my return to customizing, I have made it part of the routine to ensure everything looks and stays looking the best it can be.
My question is, what can you do to clean base figures if you can't wash it completely?

For example, the next project I want to do is a motorcycle with electronic wiring in it. Aside from that, I know there are electronic figures out there that you don't want to soak all the way through. Any suggestions on how to clean very detailed and intricate figures/models without ruining the electronics?
