I bought this on recommendation from another website that says this is all they ever use to get old decals and labels off of car finishes. Great! That’s what I need.One thing that website failed to mention is that this stuff does almost nothing on its own. If you believe you’ve bought some sort of quick-removal solvent (spray and walk away), think again. While I’m certain that this stuff is potent (you can smell the brain-cell-killing fumes), it does *not* save time in terms of the manual labor involved in slowly extracting the old sticker/label/decal first. Once the object is removed, you are a step closer to having this product do what it’s intended to do; break down adhesives and remove them.It does that well in specific situations, more so on ‘sticky’ or ‘gooey’ adhesive. If you have a situation like me where some moron used the hardest-drying adhesive known to man, be prepared to get plastic razor blades, fingernails, q-tips, etc. and a lot of manual labor to slowly, slowly, slowly remove layers of the crusty adhesive until it reverts to some softer state that you may then slowly, slowly, slowly work on until you’re back to the paint.If you’re on the verge of reply-commenting “what did you expect”… I had no expectations. Just hope. I hoped that I would be inside enjoying a cold beverage and watching a game; instead, I was picking away at a decal and getting high off solvent fumes (I’m being slightly facetious, but even outside with a lot of airflow, you should avoid inhaling these fumes. They can’t be good for you.)I started with 3 stars but decided 4 is more appropriate primarily because I believe this product met the general expectation. I can also rationalize that anything stronger would probably start to cause finish issues on paint so this is a good compromise.
