Yeah I'm on that too... I just wanted to get the info to get some off around the windows an in the corners to give a rust or silver look for when the paint scratches.. trying to get the know how.

Spray some on a rag and just wipe the paint off.

Brake fluid. Almost anything will make it foggy if you let it dwell for long...keep an eye on it!

x2 on dot 4 works great might make the lexan hazy but once repainted you will not be able to see the haze

I used dot 4 brake fluid a couple weeks back to strip the paint from my entire body. It worked great. I was sitting in the brake fluid for a couple days and did not make it hazy at all.

Yeah I agree dot4 I never have had it make my bodies hazy and I let em set for a few days before attempting to remove the paint it takes a little elbow so be prepared to do some scrubbing

I also use super clean from Walmart on hard bodies it works very good but I've never used it on lexan maybe someone else has and can chime in.. As for hard bodies/styrene you can cover it and wait a day or two and wash it off an youre done no need to scrub it or anything works great on wild willy drivers too
