[VAC] Re: Clearcoat removal frustration



Charlotte,
The prior owner used steel wool when stripping the clearcoat from our '65
Caravel - I've never forgiven him.  The fine scratches took forever to
polish out - and some on the curved sections probably never will.

You can experiment with the G6 removing the last bits of clearcoat, but be
careful of removing too much alclad from around the spots by grinding away.
If your trailer was semi-protected by the the clearcoat, I would start with
the C grade.  Tom spells it out well:

Speaking of which, you might check out the stripper he recommends.
