I had a small can of the virgin laquer thinner laying around so thought I would use it to remove the backpad glue in the engine compartment. It blew right through the glue...then through the paint...finally stopping at the primer coat.
Is there a difference between virgin and regular? I just wanted to remove the glue from the firewall, the old paint *was* in good condition. |

There are diferent grades of lacquer thinner. It depends on the rate of evaporation. Faster evaporation will "cut" less. Slower will cut more. A 500 grade thinner is cheaper and better for cleaning purposes, Higher grades are used for high quaility paints. "Virgin" usually means very highly refined(as in "extra virgin olive oil" and will evaporate slower, therefore, removing more unwanted material. I will now give way to the real experts who are old time painters.
Paul, I use a product called Goo Gone. Wonderful stuff! |
