I have been using Scalecoat II Wash-Away. It works well on most (not all) paints and doesn't seem to harm (at least permanently) plastics. I might loosen a part now and then, but doesn't seem to etch or deform the plastics. It seems to work well in a short period of time (compared to other removers), so I don't leave things to soak over night. 20-30 minutes is usually plenty of time. Once in a while, I'll let something soak longer. If the Scalecoat doesn't do it, I'll let things soak in brake fluid for a day (or two, or three). If that doesn't do it, I give up.
