ACF 50 Surprise

Last winter I coated some chrome and paintwork with ACF 50 ,  I used the aerosol foam and the liquid small bottles.  It did a fantastic job ,and even dissolved some rust back to bare metal and got corroded electrical connections clean . But now I want to remove it and there is a problem !.Its dried to a hard laquer  and is resisting me. Any ideas as to a solvent ?.

Hi Geoffrey,  Yes I was thinking of that,  I wanted to warn others of the problem,  its particularly annoying if you get it on mirrors or speedo glass.

MSDS tells us it is soluble in Naptha.

Lead free petrol. A possible alternative would be solvent brake cleaner. I saw some for sale at Kempton but when I asked for some at a motor spares place it seemed to ge a more 'environmentally friendly' detergent type...O think.
