I'm going to pick up some Pinesol and give it a try. I have a body that I foolishly tried using nail polish remover on. It said "non-acetone" yada yada.
Poor, poor little peugot 206 body. You were too young and beautiful to be taken away like that. The world and its nail polish removers are too cruel for an innocent, beautiful soul like yours. Sniffle.
Oh well, I'll test pine sol on that body and see how it works, then go at these other bodies and see where it gets me.

Surgical Gloves. Availiable at any hardware store. They are cheap you get like 100 for 10 bucks.

no good, the pine-sol did nothing but CLOUDED it slightly.

i left it in over night and the paint didnt come off.
i used sand paper on the hood before i tryed the pine sol and it didnt work even though i had scratched up the paint on the hood.

here is another pic of the pine sol i got it doesnt say ani-bacterial on it so whats the problem??

it seems like pine sol works on rims but not the tough factory paint on my clone.

does anybody else have clones with different colored rims? my back rims are black and the front are white wich sucks they look weird now

thanks for the tip, pine sol works good on rims

will using pine sol to remove paint also break down super glue or hot glue?

Castrol Super Clean degreaser! It's the best paint stripper out there. It comes in a large bottle and is in the auto cleaners section of the store. It will strip down to clean, unmarred plastic and won't cloud it at all. It doesn't soften the plastic and will strip any color or brand of paint. Try it, you'll be amazed.

Azimov, do you soak the body in it overnight or do you just rub the body with it? I've tried soaking Zip bodies with that stuff with no luck. What's your technique?

I put some in a zip lock baggie with the body and let it soak over night. I kinda rub it into the body with an old toothbrush at the start, put it in to soak and repeat a couple times before I go to bed. Next day, I rub it a couple more times. Works well for me.
Oh, and NEVER use the paint stripper in a can stuff. I tried it once and it completely disolved the body. And I mean quick too. Within minutes I had a lump of clear plastic goo in the baggie.
