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.

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

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

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.
