We have about 75% done- we took the 'ceiling' panel off- it was only a few rivets and then it slid out. The walls and even the rivet look clean- My husband tried car polish on a small area- it gave it a litle shine and hopefully will prevent oxidation. My parents 2008 is aluminum inside....wonder if it has a coating??????

***Words of advice- find plastic 'scrapers'- anything metal leaves marks. We did use a razor blade to trim around window frames. I will go and take some pictures right now!

There is no distribution by Surf-Pro for the 'Glue Buster" in the USA - its a Canada only product.

The MSDS (http://www.surf-pro.ca/english/media/glue_buster.pdf) lists Methylene chloride (>60%) and Methanol (5-10%) as hazardous ingredients; the remaining components would be gel agents and skin forming compounds to reduce evaporation, etc.

Methylene chloride is hard to find in the States, usually it is a minor ingredient but there are a few exceptions, I've got it as sole active ingredient in an automotive gasket remover aerosol that I will try out.

There are also some of the paint strippers that still have it as the major solvent - read the labels & warnings, do some research to get the MSDS, read the labels, etc., and did I say read the labels?

And last, the new-to-me idea of covering the area with plastic sheeting is a great one, THANKS for passing that along!
