I gotta give a big shout out to Jim "da man" Shine for pointing something out to me regarding the finish on Charvels; namely that the original clear coat used is pratically indestructible. The beauty of this little known fact is that acetone is your friend to remove old stickers, even old refins to get back to the original finish without harming it!!!
Jim did a body for Chuck (was painted purple over the original red paint) and brought it to the show..unbelievable what a little acetone, elbow grease and a wet buff can do. I asked Jim to remove the finsih off of that Explorer I just got to bring her back to her original finish underneath.
So if ya ever need to get off a sticker, some nail polish or even an old refin which was done on top of the original finish, acetone does the job quickly without damage. Ya learn something new everyday.
