I've had some success with oven cleaner..the strong stuff not that nambie pambie environmentally friendly stuff...but be careful just try a little bit at first to see if it reacts..and have plenty of cold running water at hand. Another thing I've learnt and that is that the older the body is the more likely it is to react. Sometimes it's not noticeable at first but if not rinsed properly the acids can still attack the plastic and cause it to go brittle and crack. In saying that I stripped about 12 bodies for a vintage collector friend of mine and I only shagged one body..(car body that is)
