Unless the paint is old and peeling, this should not remove the caliper paint.

Hi,It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

I would think so, this is the strongest paint remover I have used. I have painted cars for over 30 years and it will remove urethanes.

It souldn't if ther is some adhesive left behind just clean it with adhesive remover. Haven't removed mine but have dealt with adhesive, chrome or paint before. Hope this helps

It will not leave a residue on rubber, but will on paints. If you are careful when applying to the rubber seals and then gently wipe the paint around the seals afterwards with a towel there will be no residue. I highly recommend this product!

I would be inclined to say yes. You'll have to scrape or sand the majority of the paint and you'll use the polish to restore the surface.

It's really a finishing sander. To remove several layers of paint I would use a chemical stripper first and then sand well before repainting.

No, it will dull the surface... use only on glass and if it gets on paint just rinse off don't wipe it off!

Don't use it on car paint. I've done it and it ended up taking off top coat and crackling the paint in spots.

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what to use. You can try nail polish remover, it might get the paint off without damaging the silver. If the silver is close to the white paint, I recommend using a Q-tip.

It will remove loose paint & rust I used it on a rusty trailer. no need to remove good paint.

Why would you want to? If you want less pressure, I suggest just moving back away from the target some. I have never stripped paint off anything I did not want to at full power. Different tips work as noted previously.

It's been a while since I did this. The red thing is just there to prevent inadvertent pressing of the trigger - presumably while in shipment. You can simply pry it off with needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver. I would not have the nozzle pointed at anything you didn't want to get paint on when you did it, however. Funny you should ask this just now... Yesterday, I just saw the red thing laying on my workbench in the garage and couldn't remember where it came from... I used the aluminum colored can to spray paint some new plastic vents on the roof of our vintage Airstream trailer. It was a good match. It's been a while since I did this.

I can't honestly say that i know. I don't want the paint off. I would try a chemical stripper.

It won't work very well. Polish pads are a bit more dense to get the polish to work and break down into the paint. The wax pad is very gentle and won't scratch the paint. Just wash them after using and they should last a long time. They aren't that expensive as far as pads go. I use mine on a DA and rotary buffer with a 4" backing plate and haven't had any trouble with the black, yellow, or red pads. This should be your solution - no emailing required.

This is a very powerful stripper so it will probably remove most paints. Be careful because it may also damage the surface under the paint.
