You need to be careful what sort of thinners you use, some can craze the plastic. What sort of paint is it?
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Hot water and a cloth? Then a microfibre cloth to polish should get it shiny, does for mine :peace:
