I usually dunk parts in a tub of methylated spirits and use a toothbrush to scrub stubborn bits.

You could also try bleach or Fairy Power Spray. Both seem to work OK.
You could also consider VMS Clean Slate. Specially made to strip acrylic paint. I've not tried it myself but VMS products are usually very good. John at the shop sells it.

I'd be interested in how you find it David. Good to know it works on enamels so thanks Peter.
