Subject:paint removal success!
From:Pat Horrocks

Once again, my deep gratitude for the almost 20 responses to remove the
unwanted grey paint from the Tug's moroon skin.

I'll bet many of the suggestions would've worked, but dry baking soda on my
wet towel seemed to do the job with no ill effect (lots of summer wax likely
helped control damage).  Toothpaste, paint thinner & WD-40 (immediately
washed after careful applications) didn't touch it, but 3-Ms Finesse,
cleaning wax, scratch remover, rubbing polish/compound were all on my list.

Oh where would I be without our List?!!   Thanks again to everyone's concern!
