Thank you! Some spit, some sewing machine oil, and a little TR-3 Resin Glaze. If there are any areas with built-up dried liquid, I soak that area first in oil (or sometimes water -- it's a much better solvent -- but I avoid the decals if I'm using any water at all) and let it soften the spill, then wipe it off. The important thing is to avoid rubbing the clear coat as much as possible. Cotton balls are a good choice and old cotton underwear is also good. Make sure the underwear or towels you're using aren't from a dryer in which you've used dryer sheets -- they have scented and chemical oils in them that leave a filmy residue on the clear coat and over time will make your clear coat look clouded.
