Just to chime in...

I've never been a fan of using IAP to chemically strip paint. It doesn't even "feel good" wiping it over the surface.

I am a fan of some of the dedicated products for this process plus Mineral Spirits.


And also just to note, the ONLY reason I ever wrote the article on how to safely dilute IPA was because at that time we had a few "experts" on this forum telling everyone to use IPA with no other details, information or recommendations as to the dilution.

I tested IPA and found it wrinkled clear coat paint at full strength. So I asked for someone else to write the article and when no one stepped up to the plate AFTER ONE YEAR went by I did step up to the plate, did the research and then wrote the article.

That was to keep everyone from ruining their paint due to the experts lack of good judgement.

To this day I still don't use IPA to chemically strip paint.


Everyone else can do as they will.

Ah! Wow... I have used IPA all along because of the info contained in your book.

Well, it does work that is for sure. Not as effective as other solvants but less costly.

I just tried Gtechniq Panel wipe. Seems to work well, but I find it pretty expensive compared to other options....

I guess a test should be done for efficiency of the various solvants and prep products.

Anyone in the mood to do it?
