does this leave the shell scuffed up in any way? especially with scrubbing it? and did u manage to remove all the paint so its a completely clear shell?

notice the wedding ring, you know his wife kicked his @ss for making a mess in the sink not to mention the smell in the kitchen.
RC is a hobby thats going to cost you money, just buy a new shell and start over.

@rcnitroracer Nope, I wear the pants in the household and bring home the check. Noone does that to me in my household.

As for RC costing cash- sure, it costs cash. But, if you over spray or want to re-do a shell then this will help.

We all have different tolerances of what is, and is not, acceptable. Some are cost conscious and some are more apt to spend for a new shell. Some, who run models not in production anymore, dont have a choice.

@RobinHelder You can get it off. I have never known a sponge to scratch.

@RobinHelder I havent seen this vid in 2 years.

If you use the abrasive side lightly to pick up the paint then that is fine.
