Magic Wash is the way to go. Grab a bottle of Pledge floor polish (with Future) and mix it up on a 4:1 ratio Water to Pledge and make your own washes. You put some in a little cup (or whatever) add a drop of paint at a time to get desired wash color and use that. My local stores are all out of Badab Black (Nulin Oil) wash from GW so I made my own. Actually does better as it doesn't discolor the model as much and leaves nice dark recesses. and at like $4 a gallon it is a hell of a lot cheaper then $4 for 12ml and can be in ANY color I have paint of. I use a 4oz dropper bottle I got from the hobby store and when I need some I drop a bit in the little flip top paint containers I got (the ones that are all stuck together for paints from Michael's) and add color and TADA!! custom wash that also seals and protects.

You are the MAN!! After I apply this wash, can I dry brush some more if I want to? Can I spray sealant for extra protection?
Yep I use the clear coat followed by Dullcote
