Mike,

Jarrid & Brents replies are right on. The stuff is nasty so be careful. It
does work. If you are planning on removing all bondo be sure to do so. It
will attack plastic bondo and can leach into it and cause refinishing
problems. One other trick if you are doing it on a warm day keep car out of
direct sun and heating up the metal too much. This causes chemicals to
evaporate and makes job more time consuming as you need to apply more and
more to get desired effect. To help slow the evaporation process use some
plastic food wrap like saran wrap on a small area at a time. Brush on
stripper only in one direction. Hope this helps.

Stripped my wifes S1 five years ago. Had several paint jobs on it. The
hardest thing to remove by far is the factory primer. Believe me!
