brake fluid?
 
i know some of you ar looking at the topic for this and wondering if i have gone nuts. well i have, but thats not why i'm posting. anyways. if you guys want to strip the paint off your cars and not melt the body. get a small bowl ( one that it dosnt matter if it gets dirty) pour some brake fluid in it and dip your car in and let it sit for about 5 mins. now use a junk tooth brush ( or your sisters) and start scrubbin the paint off. people have been doing this for years on modle trains andi just figured i would share.

darn it I should have done that before I painted... oh well...

When I paint i dont usually take off the paint, but when I do I use nail polish remover or pine sol.

those are good but nail polish remover has acitone in it and that eats plastic.

I mean I don't dump the body in the nail poilish. I dab some onto a paper towel and then start scrubbing.

hey as long as it works good for you keep it up.

Acetone, MEK(methyl ethyl keytone), laquer thinner, and mineral spirits all eat plastic to some degree. MEK can actually be used as a cement, it eats plastic that much.
Using thinners, you'll notice that if you scrub too hard(even with a q-tip) that you will actually gouge circles into the finish.
Brake fluid won't damage plastic. Plus it's really cheap.
Fingernails aren't plastic.
