acetone is the safest dont staurate the rag do a little at a time and then let it set for about 10 minutes and then go back and do it again. until its all off i have been painting for 30 plus years this will work fine as far as factory stripes there below the clear the only way to remove them is to sand them completely off and then prime and block. good luck

I have heard the ez off thing before. Did you fix the guys hands so he can't make that mistake again? If the guy went that far off what you talked about I would have fed him his fingers on hotdog rolls.
