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.

I used Xylol to remove the glue IIRC. Goof Off is the same stuff. Or cheapie laquer thinner works.
Took alittle of the paint off but not much and then I sanded it with 320 grit then some 600.
