[VAC] Clearcoat Removal
I'm about to throw in the towl on polishing my trailer. I have not
even tried the polisher nor used a drop of Rolite polish. I have tried the
following 3 ways to remove clearcoat.
1. Ammonia, works on easy places but doesn't touch hard places.
2. Klean Strip Strip-X Stripper; put on with a brush and allow to
sit 30 minutes. Dries up completely and does not work at all.
3. Klean Strip Premium Stripper in an aresol can. Spray and let
sit 10 minutes. This works pretty good. But I can get only about 15 square
feet done per $5.00 can. This will run $200.00 to do the whole trailer.
Does anyone know of a "real good" clearcoat remover that will cost
less than $200.00 for a 23 foot trailer?
In anycase I've decided to do it different than I planned. I will
get about 8 square feet clear of clearcoat and then polish it. I plan to
polish the door tomorrow because after using the aerosol Klean Strip it's
clean enough to try some polishing.
