[VAC] Re: Polishing / Stripping

Thanks for sharing your polishing experience, Rolland.  Polishing is the
next item on my long to-do list, so I'm always interested to read about
other people's experiences. 

I wanted to put in a word about stripping the clearcoat.  After starting
with the Klean Strip Aircraft Remover, I switched to a terrific product on
the advice of Jim Greene, a member of this list.  This product, SV-35/AC,
manufactured by Napier Environmental Technologies, is easy to use - you
just paint or spray it on and hose it off.  It requires zero elbow grease;
it's actually fun to use (okay, so I have weird notions of entertainment).
Best of all, it's classified as non-hazardous, so you actually can hose it
off with a relatively clear conscience.  I wore gloves, of course, but did
get a little on my skin, and it didn't burn at all (unlike the Aircraft
stripper!) I ordered it from www.aircraftspruce.com.  I have pictures of
the stripping as of early September at
http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ameeker/exterior.htm (down at the bottom of the
page).  Can't wait 'til I get mine super-shiny like yours!

Best,

Amanda
