All Good suggestions if your having trouble getting down into the needle area just use a soft brush from the dollar store - 4012 is a good cleaner too. I just use diluted 4012 or in a pinch Mr. Clean Green cleaner (diluted )works really well too, just don't spray it through the brush unless you have a filtered spray out pot. Water based paints, you shouldn't need the nail-polish remover for cleaning the paints your using, acetone can be hard on the chrome finish.
