What dissolves dried on Ceramic Coating?

[FUNX650]

If solvents are found that work easily to wipe
over and remove coatings - and - without also
harming car paint - that would be a minor strike
against one of the main benefits of paint coatings

Longevity



Just throwing that out there for discussion.

^^^I’m going to say that this is definitely true...

•If it’s also true that Coatings are, on the whole,
formulated to ’bond’ to/with automotive paint
systems: BC/CC paint systems (primarily).

•With that in mind:
-I seriously doubt that any type of an
automotive-grade paint-system has ever
been applied to the OP’s “blue bottle”.


Thus my earlier suggestions; and “Disclaimer”.

I don't know if I've ever found any consumer grade liquid which will remove a coating from any surface.

Window glass would be a good comparison to the bottle. I've accidentally ended up with spots paint coatings on my windows a couple times. I had to polish the coating off the glass because nothing else would work. In fact it was HARDER to polish the coating off the glass than it was the paint. On paint I can easily polish off most high spots by hand with a foam pad and a little finishing polish. Not so on glass. I had to use my DA and a compound to get the stuff off. No cleaning chemicals I had on hand had any effect on the coating.

I wouldn’t use an undiluted, highly alkaline
product (13+pH) anywhere near my vehicles.

IMO:
Even if you would have such products at your
disposal, I’m sure you wouldn’t either.

How long have you been on the forum brother? Seems like you know many other members by their first name. Is there a directory some where where I can get to know others first names as well? Thanks for any help you can provide Paul!

I've been on here for a little while........

The OP posted his name in the 1st post

Yes, he did. But like Eric said, he always posts his name. Lol

Hi all,

Trying to repurpose a blue glass bottle that held ceramic coating, and had dried on the surface of the bottle.

Tried Mineral Spirits - Strike 1.
Tried Acetone - Strike 2.

Can you think of anything that would working cleaning this off, or should I just bite the bullet and find something else that has the specific dropper type I was interested in repurposing?

Any feedback appreciated...tried to find MSDS on specific product that hardened, with no luck.

TIA...Eric

This is one of the things that's a potential concern with some of the thicker coatings, how do you remove them from the paint. If a heavy solvent won't remove it, I'm not sure a polish will either.

Well...I'm pretty sure polish does, since I just used a combo of orange pads with 3D One on my wife's Escape, and after finishing, I wipe it down with a prep solution (Mckee's N-914 mixed at 8:1), and there is absolutely no beading whatsoever.

I also found another thread in one of the sub-forums, that absolutely nailed the bottle type I'm looking for (I love this forum).

It's called a "Euro Dropper Boston Round", so now I just have to figure out what size to get (decisions, decisions), and I really don't need a case of 24 of them

I think I will retire the one with the dried coating on it (unless I switch it with one of my wife's essential oils bottles without her knowing, yuk yuk), and bite the bullet.

Thanks all,

Eric
