    Agreed but I've had some people tell me it leaves a gooey mess, however haven't tried it that way myself. Plus this amazing remover stuff is only about 3.65 per gallon right now lol

    Yep removed it very easily. I'd test a small inconspicuous section first though to make sure it doesn't make the plastic soft

    I agree. The guy I got the car off of went way to dark/thick. I tried sanding it originally but that's how it turned out. Gonna go pick up a fresh can of VHT and redo them lighter.

    such a quicker way, the first time mine cracked i 60-gritted, and
    worked up to 2000, then polished and buffed and they came out nice.

    Laquer thinner works really well too. Pretty much wipes right off.
