dont let that **** get on your skin tho, i was using it on some rusty brake drums and found out it'll burn when the wire brush slings it on your legs. haha

Yeah, use aircraft remover. Cover yourself up real good, gloves and all. If all else fails, you can always sand and reclear.

Re: wheel stripping? (ek forever guy)

yea the aircraft remover works very well. but like said before it WILL burn your skin. not a medical emergency but wont feel to good. if it does happen get to some soap and water as soon as you can. good luck.
