OK, I need to do some paint stripping real soon, but...

-I've used Dettol - mediocre results - the paint came off after a prolongued soak, but theres a hint of primer colour that I can't stand and cant work with.
-I've read that Purple Power is the way to go. It removes paint AND Primer (i cant remember if im using new or old GW Black) AND doesnt harm detail. can anyone confirm? Primer is my main problem (tiny bit of paint)
-Is it availiable in the great white north? (Canada)

Can't tell you for sure, I've had people swear by brake cleaner though, but it tends to irritate the skin so you might want to wear gloves.

If you can, use Grease Lightning. I got mine at Home Depot so try a home improvement store up there for it.

That stuff works 100% after a 2 hour soak and a cheap toothbrush.
