Wow! Great job on both of the bikes getting back down to original paint. I recently bought a cycle truck (I will post pics in the project rides shortly) that has been brush painted at least once but the pin stripping and decals are clearly visible under the paint. I see the recommended use of a cleaning wax but were there other products used to rid the layers of pint to get to the original finish? I have heard of oven cleaner, various citrus based strippers, etc. and understand that it would really depend on what type of paint you are trying to remove.
Not trying to hijack this thread but thought my questions went along with the other posts. Please delete this if not allowed. Thanks.
