I've just started using brasso too and I use a dry cloth to scrub the printings
off. I've seen no scratches or blur in my transparent parts and I don't do
lightly on the scrubbing. My suggestion is to use a soft cloth, something that
can't scratch plastc even if you go firmly, and, well, go firmly :-)
But testing on a small area is always best.
I've recently bought NBA sets too in discounts at local Wal-Mart. 25$CDN for
the Ultimate NBA stadium. Neat!
