Default Removing paint off of plastic trim.

So I was watching The Power Block this past weekend and I learned something. On Muscle Car they needed to remove paint on molder plastic trim so they soaked it in brake fluid until it started to peel off. When it is nice and loose you can just take it off and then wash the part in soap and water. I was fairly impressed.

It will remove paint from metal also. Its just safe on plastic unlike normal paint stripper. We been doing it for years.

Will also remove sharpie from anything that brake fluid won't damage.
