hi,
I used them a lot. works like any other enamel based wash. you can thin them if you need. clean the excess from surface with any kind of enamel thinner.

I used odorless enamel thinner from Ammo Mig.
If you want to try something I recommend doing it on a scrap model, or piece of painted plastic.
