I'm not sure about Hot Wheels, because I've never tried it, but I use this on my ABS plastic bodies when they are coated in layers of who knows what kind of paint.

I keep a tub of it under the bench. If you use this, make sure you use rubber or surgical gloves, it wll dry your skin out.. It also works great to remove anodizing from aluminum, but that works quick, and you have to watch it, or it may ruin the finish on the aluminum.

As an example, this came from ebay.

After a couple weeks.

Then after using a toothbrush and some elbow grease.

And now..

Some people use EZ OFF oven cleaner, (Yellow can),the generic stuff don't work too well,

And some people use brake fluid, the one without silicone in it..I've never tried it.
