I got a new project at the weekend so decided to start stripping off the old paint.

So far so good until I thought I might need some more Mykal De Solv It Graffiti Remover.
Above is the only can I’ve managed to locate.
But what stopped me in my tracks was the £20.00 price tag.
When they used to be £6.00 max.

So have they stopped making it ?
Or do I need my glasses!!

I believe it was supplied by B&Q for around £10 when I bought some. I’ve since the highly recommended the water based one supplied by tool station.

The stuff you showed, I found it was very solvent based and stanlmthe House out, needed marks, especially when spraying. The water based graffiti remover didn’t create a solvent “mist”.

Hope that helps buddy?

Cheers Rob. Much appreciated, I think there’s a Tool Station near the office, it’ll be a good excuse to get out at lunchtime.
I checked out B&Q, but the nearest one to me with any stock is over 20 miles away.
I spend enough time in DIY shops, but I’m not driving that far for the privilege.
Thanks again Rob. Have a good evening.

My pleasure mate, here's the product number. To clarify I have used this on the old bodies like Sand Scorcher and Countach.

Thanks Rob, that’s a great help.
I’ve tried a few others which did absolutely nothing.

This is the stuff from tool station
It hasn’t met a paint it can’t remove yet, it even removed paint the brake fluid would not touch, I have found that it can vary a lot time wise how long you have to leave it on before it starts to work on different paints, some times 15 mins other times 3 hours, depends how much of a fight the paint wants to put up I suppose

Yup that's the stuff I always recommend. I took the pic down as i couldn't crop it correctly.

You look like you could use on the inside of that cup

Hey thats patina, that is as much hard work as weathering your cars.

Crikey! the cup has been corrupted by the dark side

Best work coffees are drunk in this style of cups and sugar desolved with a dirty screwdriver.
