Can this stripper be used to remove pain from automobiles? Does anyone know how long one paint remover wheel would last for this application? Thanks!

I've used this on deck floors and ceilings and other wooden projects to try and get down to bare wood... It works well, but the motor on these do not seem to be the correct output, and it burns out. If you use this stripper on an automobile, it might unnecessarily scratch the metal...

i have used this on latex paint with great success and ease. i have cleaned, stripped and prepped my lawn mower deck with this which was powder coated and baked, once i stripped the motor and all other items that would tear the disk or block the removal process it took longer than the latex paint but it worked, it removed the corrosion with ease. one disk did the entire 42 inch deck. i still use the disk on latex. have patience and let the machine do the work don't try to rush it. i have never tried it on an automobile.

I wouldn't. The drill bristles are pretty coarse, which makes it better as a tough cleaner, but worse against surfaces which could potentially scratch. I wouldn't use this on my car (if I cared about the paint job) either. Really only suitable for stone-like surfaces (e.g. ceramic and tile).

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

Sound deadening paint ? Is this something like inside your wheel wells or on the inside of a body panel ? I would think it would stick as long as you scuff up the surface and make sure it is well cleaned. I have used this on many different types of surface's from wood to plastic to metal. It's all in the surface prep. Scuffed and Clean.

You should probably just stick with the wand. This gives the pressure of the white nozzle so it works best just on dirty surfaces. To strip paint I would think the yellow nozzle at least would be needed. I tried to take mildew off an astroturf surface and it did not do a good job at all. I suppose you could change the nozzles and get one that gives more pressure and try that but I would suggest sticking with the wand. I was using a 3000 psi machine and those are the results I got with it.

I think so......not an expert though. I only use it to clean RC Drag Racing tires.

This product didn't do a very good job on paint. I use it on the stove top and oven and Fry Daddy to remove oil. A good paint stripper will remove the paint, but you better check and see if the carpet will take the stripper without damage.

Yes, This works great on removing wheel nuts. Also I used it to remove the wheel nuts on my old ford tractor. It has lots of power and gets the job done.

Forget the paint stripper. It's dangerous stuff, plus that will take forever. And it's expensive.This blisters the paint quickly and it comes right off with a putty knife. I much prefer using this method over paint stripper. It's easy and much, much faster.One important piece of advice: really old paint has lead in it. I stripped a lot of paint off an old house long ago before I knew any better and didn't use a respirator or make sure I had good ventilation.

Like the ones you use for scrubbing cars that spin? They look awesome but the ones i've seen on here all have bad reviews. But yes you could connect one to this and give it a try.

I used a Bernzomatic butane pencil torch to heat up the transfer tool. Held it about a half inch away from the darker blue tip of the flame for 30 seconds and it worked for me in curing the paint using the fabric part they say to use. Will it endure usage. Don't know yet but a iron would not do the heat trick nor would a heat gun.

I have used this product to remove BMW brake dust, which, as you likely know, can be black, thick and gritty. You spray this stuff on (I have a BMW 325xi), it turns color in about 5-7 minutes. Then give it a gentle brushing with a nylon-bristle brush, and hose it off. Done. The other wheel cleaners I have tried are a joke compare to this stuff, but it's relatively expensive. I can't tell you whether it would remove rust, although I doubt it.

This works on everything. I suggest you put some on a Qtip, roll it on a paper towel to control the amount , swipe it, do not rub..have a polish ready to stop the removal. If it soaks in you will loose paint and have a streak or pit.

This product does a terrific job of containing the lead paint as long as you scrape the old paint off while the stripper is still at least slightly wet (gel). It comes off in globs and you can capture it for proper disposal. If you let the stripper dry too much, the paint chips off.

Yes you can use it on stainless steel. I will really make the steel shine. As for striping paint it depends on the paint and how it was applied. If the paint is a baked on enamel type paint it should not hurt the paint but I would be very carefull if you want to keep the paint on the on the metal, dont rub. If it is just paint residue that has air dried onto the blade and you want it off, this will take it off with some repeated polishing.

It does not spray very even and consistent like spraypaint. It has a tar like smell and consistency going on but dries pretty hard. Works well for the intended use. I would not use on the wheels. I do not think it will hold up.
