Has anyone experienced issues with putting clear plastic parts into Castro Super Clean? I have a Challenger body that I have been unable to remove the glass from and was thinking of dipping the whole body and then masking the glass of before painting. I've already broken the rear glass *sighs*. I can't get this glass to budge from the inside of the roof of the car despite having had the old freezer trick work many times in the past. This stuff doesn't seem to be glued in with excessive amounts of glue but what ever the builder used sure hangs on like duck poop to a blanket. Worst case scenario, I'll just cut the windshield out and replace the glass but I;d rather not if I can get away without doing so.

Superclean will not hurt the clear plastic at all. I have a couple of old builtups that are in the same condition as the one you're dealing with, I just dropped them in and stripped the body like normal.

As I understand it, the active ingredient in CSC is lye, same as in oven cleaner. I've stripped paint from clear plastic with oven cleaner, no problem.

It won't help you remove the glass from the body much Gary. Super Clean doesn't seem to do much to glues. But it will make your glass look like brand new! :) Not only will it not hurt your glass, but I recommend it for cleaning clear plastic parts. I've had some pretty gnarly looking glass that came out looking like brand new after a couple hours in Super Clean! So, I say "dive in"! Steve
