I was wondering if I wanted to repaint portions of my Rubicon again, how can I get the already painted areas clean?

From what I've found there really isn't a way to clean the painted lexan well. Anything i've ever tried ended up in a clouded lexan

i tried everthing from oven cleaner to starting fluid

brake fluid, buggy blast, and nitro fuel all work ok.

Haven't tried brake fluid on a lexan sheet... I know it eats the hell outta automotive paint on people's cars. Have to test it on lexan.

Don't use brake fluid... check out my writeup on cleaning up a body with that.

It includes the final product...

I never said it wouldn't cloud lexan.

I used it to remove the paint behind my headlight decals and didn't seem to have any problems.
