Beware: I did a cuastic soda strip on a 914-6 in 1992. The car is still sitting on a rotissaire in my friends shop with crap STILL oozing from the UNIBODY seams. This is after countless rinses with laquer thinner. MEK, acetone to get it out. You will have problems with the paint lifting at the seams sometime in the future.


A better solution would be to have the car PASTIC MEDIA blasted to remove all the paint and undercoating. There is also High Pressure Bakind Soda Stripping. BOTH are EXCELLANT process's.

Find a local sand blasting shop and ask if they use other media or know somewhere else to ask.
