The purple pond ?

[gtx6970]

I keep hearing about the purple pond , I need to strip some painted bodies and was wondering what this is ?

Castrol Super Clean ?

If so does it work better than easy off ?

[Fat Brian]

Yep, Super Clean is a clear, semi luminescent purple. Think purple antifreeze. It does well for most enamels and acrylics but it has trouble with some laquers, especially the hotter ones.

It's basically a degreaser ... most likely a different brand name over there.

Thanks all. Anyone know if it's safe for resin parts ?

I will give it a try this weekend

Or you can use a product called Purple Power. Same thing as Castrol Super Clean but a lot cheaper.

+2 on Purple Power,used it many times (never on lacquers though,so IDK how that would work,but enamels? yeah)

Super clean is my goto stripper,but now and then I use 99% alcohol and Dawn Power dissolver.

It's safer for resin, you may want to test a piece before dunking the whole body as some resins react differently than others.
