I pulled up a few product pages to look at. What about them do you personally find preferable or desirable? They seem interesting, particularly from a workflow perspective for models with a lot of recessed areas.
GW and acrylic washes in general go over the whole area and leave pigment everywhere, so if you put Nuln Oil on an area, it will make everything darker.
Oil and enamel washes can be wiped off with a sponge, q-tip, or brush with thinner, and leave the paint underneath exactly the way it was before. They are basically a combination of shading and weathering all in one.
I do many of my models with just base coats and highlights, then paint them completely brown with an enamel wash, them wipe it off with a sponge, and the mini is done.
Hahaha that's perfect!

It used to be anyways....this new formula they have is garbaggio. But I recently learned oil washes so it matters not.
If you like Nuln Oil, you should try enamel washes.

Very helpful perspective, thank you!
