Hi Tazz,

Before you do any washes cover your model with a coat of future floor wax. This does 2 things:
1 It gives a gloss surface that will help the wash run along recessed lines and wick around raised details.
2 It acts as a barrier between the paint and the wash.

Use a fine tipped brush and place the wash in the ecesses and around the base of any raised detail. If you get too much on you may remove it when dry with a q-rip dipped in thinner....MG2

Tazz,
Here's a link in the painting forum where we had a lengthy discussion about washes. You can see it by clicking here.
