Ok. With that I also have sanded parts in the past before I knew that it could be done with Super Clean. I've also heard that caramel colas have the same effect of removing chrome. I did this but one time over twenty years ago I tried to paint the inside of my bumpers with black paint only to remove the excess from a Monogram '59 Cadillac only to remove the chrome as well. I did this with what I thought was regular mineral spirits. I just got new bumpers from Monogram at the time by sending away for them. However to keep from having this same thing happen again I painted them with water based paints in the past. But I don't remember where I saw this but instead of painting the bumpers sanding away the inside of the bumpers so that you can expose the grill on model cars. I did this on the Cadillac. Only I scraped it. One part I accidentally scraped too far and it took away one tiny part of the grill on one edge. Now I have to figure out who I'm going to fix it. I wouldn't suggest this with all models but it can be done with this car. I did this with two different models. The first is a convertible and the second is a solid top that needs some real work to bring it back from the dead. The last photo is the best shot I could get with the cheap digital camera that I have (Nikon Cool Pix). It makes my hand look disproportionate and creepy as it slightly distorts things at different angles. But you get the main idea. I only wish it could get much clearer and more resolute photos.

[QUOTE="Little Cutie, post: 223034, member: 222"] Ok. With that I also have sanded parts in the past before I knew that it could be done with Super Clean. I've also heard that caramel colas have the same effect of removing chrome. I did this but one time over twenty years ago I tried to paint the inside of my bumpers with black paint only to remove the excess from a Monogram '59 Cadillac only to remove the chrome as well.
