[VAC] G6 to remove clearcoat - A BIG NO!

["Globetrotter64" <globetrotter64@xxxxxxx>]

Just catching up on the airstream emails after traveling and saw the
questions on using Nuvite G6 to remove clearcoat.

Yes, G6 may grind off the clear coat (depending on condition and quality of
the clearcoat) BUT it probably will not do it evenly.   Believe it or not,
the aluminum surface can grind more quickly than some clearcoat will!  Your
finished aluminum surface will not be as smooth as it would be if you
chemically stripped it first.  (We know this from first-hand experience!)

On our 1964 trailer we stripped mostly with the Citra Strip.  This product
is great because it is much easier on the hands and clings very well to the
trailer (we did not even use gloves). On one side of the trailer that had
been refinished, the Citra Strip did not even faze the clearcoat, even after
being left on for hours. The spray can Klean-Strip Aircraft stripper (cheap,
from Walmart) worked great for that part.  We found it MUCH easier to use
than other powerful paste or liquid stripper, and you do use less too.
