Just tried a bit of this this afternoon on my 1996 Sovereign and it works so easy. Left it on aboput an hour and hosed it off with water. Used it on a door for the house and same easy results.

Called Citristrip

Eastern South Dakota is very pretty with hills, rivers, and trees.

Thanks much for the response. I have a large area that has to be stripped and this looks like the ticket.

With the hot South Georgia weather I have only a few hours in the morning to work. I lapplt the stipper with a paoint brush and let it dry out. Then I used my pressure washer and it comes off very nicely. Looking good! Waiting for the Cyclo, model 5 Pro to arrive soon. Will be onto the polish work soon!

This one is a 1996 Sovereign, 21' I just found down in Port Charlotte, Florida. Just sold my 1987 Excfella, 32' and will be delivering it to St Augustine today. Ready to downsize! Like going from a Cadiallac to a VW, but still should be a lot of fun for camping!

Nice looking trailer. I'd be game for one that size.

oops! HELP! I used Citristrip on my exterior, left it on for an hour and it baked on and I cannot get it off. My bad for taking the last few days of good weather, I did not realize the sunlight was so strong and would cause it to adhere. I was working my driveway as I have no indoor shop so really did not have a choice about environment. I was tempted to re-coat the entire thing to see if it would take it off but was afraid to make it worse. It is a sad shade of pink and can someone PLEASE tell me how to get it off.
