I use a medium toothbrush to clean the dust of my tfs. Does that harm the paint? If so what cleaing toold do you recommend?

I often use a qtip, if there is dirt of some kind, I use a qtip with WD40 on it to loosen it.

Compressed air works too.

Toothbrush could be harsh if you are really scrubbing.

Not so much scrubing, only using to reach those really hard areas (under arms, neck and such)

I cant imagine it being an issue with a soft toothbrush

I use a really soft-bristle modelling paint brush to dust my TFs and Gundam models. Does a really good job without scratching the paint and gets into all the little details and crevices.

I use a toothpick covered with a small piece of tissue to clean the hard to reach areas. qtips are good too, but they cannot reach the corners.

I use q-tips and cloth for cleaning eyeglasses. I also damp the areas of the figure with a touch of my breath right before wiping it, just like how people clean ther glasses...
