Polar Lights BttF Delorean

[Joe Handley]

I’m getting started at cleaning the time machine parts off the Polar Lights BttF Delorean and clearancing the fenders for the big Pegasus rolling stock,  but have found removing the wiring around the flares tricky and am trying to use the purple pond to strip the plating, but I think all it’s done is make it shinier at this point, like there is a dull or semigloss clear over the plating.  Has anybody else done any of this work on one of these kits? 

Here’s the mock up pic from that thread as I haven’t shot any pics of what I’ve done so far.

Thanks
