Great little trick... will definitely keep in mind for those ex-DET macs that are emblazened with asset numbers in 17 year old black sharpie.

I knew about the paint stripping properties for a long time, but have thus far only used em on metal or chrome-plated surfaces... I found it particularly useful for stripping dodgy looking silver paint off chromed Volkswagen hubcaps, headlight surrounds, and chromed ROH 12-slot wheels.
