If you have been reading my tweets, I posted that I found Portrait of Pirates Series 4: Nami Version 2 for a low price. She was being sold at a high price but I managed to haggle the price down due to there was not box and the figure was covered in scratches. When I got home, I did some further inspections. Those where not scratches but paint that got rubbed on her.
I used some cotton balls and rubbing alcohol to remove some of the paint. The paint that was hard to remove, I use my trusty orange box cutter. I slowly and carefully peeled away that unwanted paint. 
I'm happy that I made the decision to get this figure because she is very hard to find at a cheap price nowadays. If you are planning to clean a figure in that sort of way, rubbing alcohol works well but you must use a little force. Don't be afraid that some of the original paint comes off.

Well, if it didn't come with a box, at least there was no trash later. Looks good; you're very good with your hands.
PS: The cleavage on Nami looks awesome. Looking forward to a photo shoot.
This post bring me the opportunity to ask you something I was hoping to ask someone who has more experience than me in figures. In this case in cleaning them. XD
Well, the quenstion is: I have a number of mecha-posable figures and, hm, around every month I have to un-dust them and this is a real pain in the ass, particularly because I haven't been able to figure out a simply, effective and fast way. @_@
Actually I use a little brush (don't laugh, please XD) but any type of cleaning solvent. Have you some tips regarding this, please?
(Sorry for the disturb and the bad english)

Interesting post, I was just looking for something like this "dust remover". Thank you very much. ^^

Oh wow.. that's really cool! Unfortunately all my POP's are still in their boxes. Don't believe that I would let my figures get to that scratchy situation, but thanks for the figure cleaning tips. ^_^
