Guest cul08r Guests Posted 24/02/04 12:37 AM Posted 24/02/04 12:37 AM For a safer approach, you can use Prepsol or any type of paint preparation product after removing with the fishing line. This strips off EVERYTHING except the paint, meaning polishes, waxes, tar and grime. Best to do it this way then reapply your waxes etc to complete the job.Andrew

Guest AussieCJ7 Guests Posted 24/02/04 06:43 AM Posted 24/02/04 06:43 AM Metho and kerosen are the 2 most used products by car detailersbetween the 2 of them there is not much on the outside and underside that can not be cleaned off course test in a hidden spot first and keep away from platics and rubbers
