Thank you for taking the time to make this comparison video on currently available metal paint stripper products. I've been putting off a valve cover restoration project trying to find a non-methylene chloride paint stripper that might actually work. This was very helpful. Great video!
The most surprising thing is that prices of these products have tripled from 2 years ago 😔
I feel like Alice in Wonderland. It's all crazy.
Yeah more expensive and all suck and don’t work. You’re supposed to scuff the paint with 80 grit then apply the stripper but it’s not even close the what strippers used to be 4-5 years ago and before that
You can blame Brandon.
@@twh563 it was way before biden started during Obama
I was gonna say the same thing aircraft remover is like 89 bucks for that size now lol
The aircraft stripper before it was changed was unbelievable. It worked fast, deep and if you didn't care about nose hairs you'd apply without a respirator! LOL.
well. it was ideed super fast. VHT paint stripper was pretty badd ass too. but that Methylene Chloride? is just nast stuff lol people died from it :P
@@Albert87nl No one died from methylene chloride. Bullshit.
@@Albert87nl wonder if you can buy it and mix it into the aircraft and it perform like the older stuff
Here I was needing to strip paint and I tried klean strip meant for metal from Home Depot, nothing for the rims I'm restoring.
Got Aircraft stripper and while it removed some, it's not much better than klean strip from what it used to be.
@@Albert87nl it is a nasty solvent yes, but if you use a face sheild, respirator, and chemical resistant gloves and try to work outside it poses no more danger than burnt toast. The people who died clearly were disregarding any warning and probably using gallons of the stuff to cover a full car in a garage with no ventilation or PPE.
Great video, thank you for making. I don’t know why anyone would give a thumbs down, your put a lot of work into testing these.
Thank you for the Video. In my opinion, the way the paint strippers without methylene chloride perform, the paint stripper manufacturers better do something to improve their products or they are going to go broke.
Hi, I actually love how u did this experiment. Using the different strippers on different parts of the car really shows how it could be effective on other items that u might want to use it on. I am looking to refinish my kitchen table and cabinets and this video really helped me choose the citrastrip. It seems it will do a great job at taking off the top layer only, so I don't damage the wood. Thank u for spending the time to do this video. U r awesome 💜
Love the videos man, keep them coming and good luck. I finally made some real progress on my Z and welded in the passenger side floor pan. It was rough but not near as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for helping motivate me!
The product(s) test was excellent and your time (and expense) much appreciated. You may have just saved me a world of heartache.
Nice video, I've been looking at getting a 280z as a future project car and want to go about restoring the same way you do. I will say your videos have helped greatly in my research as I am still a beginner when it comes to cars.
Also, I must compliment you on the way you conducted your testing. It always annoys me to see people conduct flawed tests and get inaccurate results. Keep it up friend.
Thank You for the best product comparison I've seen on any non methyl chloride product out there available today !
If you ever used zip strip you will know that all these products are worthless. This is a classic case of taking a great product and ending it because some people were harmed from misuse.
They were not misusing it boomer, it was fucking killing people....
100%. I've got about a quart left and am using it preciously. The new stuff sucks.
I use the old paint stripper for years many years 40 years without a respirator with no ill effects and it worked very well and save me a whole lot of time the new stripper is a waste of money and cost twice as much
Thank you for making this video! I am just about to begin chemically stripping my 1955 GMC truck. I was leaning toward Aircraft Remover, as I've used it with great results in the past. I've also used Jasco with good results, too. I realize ingredients have changed in recent years. But your video confirms for me that these two are still the best of the bunch.
So good to see another episode!
With struggling with a few paint strippers... I appreciate this video a lot. Thanks!
I like that you explained your testing methodology and took your time with it. Great video.
Excellent video, great format and good info. Appreciate the work you put into it. Thanks.
3 weeks of agony researching paint stripping as a novice & your video is what FINALLY answered my questions! KleenStrip failed to remove ANY of the stubborn oil paint from my wooden rocking chairs ... More research followed and your visual demo comparison utilizing Scientific Method was key! Brilliantly done, Thank you for generously sharing all your hard work with us =) =) Excited to give another try using your Jasco tomorrow ... I had no idea a scratch on my custom painted Italian leather sofa would lead me on a month long journey into the paint refinishing world. Now I am not only refinishing the paint to my leather couches, but I am additionally stripping two oil painted patio rocking chairs, and also glitter blinging out a large kitchen wall picture frame Hahaha! (Leather stripping requires a special delicate deglazer though, Jasco would be way too strong for that just FYI). But I thank you for recommending Jasco, as I had nearly lost faith once the KleenStrip failed miserably on my rockers. Keep up the good work & happy creating ~
actually, this is the best video of paint strippers I've seen. Great job.
I paid 80 bucks for air craft stripper and it did nothing ,the old stuff although not safe worked almost immediately with out the wait time, as long as you were safe the old stuff was safe as well
This was such a thorough & informative video! Thank you so much! :)
Appreciate the effort put in here... Starting a project 69 Dart soon and itll need stripped. Now i know what to buy!! Thanks!! Great project car btw...had a 78 eons ago, and it was such a fun car to drive!! Miss it!!👍👍
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BUYING, TESTING, AND VIDEO HOW EACH STRIPPER WORKS. I HOPE IT WORK ON REMOVING A THIN COAT OF EPOXY PAINT OUT OF BATHTUB.
Great video, sir. Just what I was looking for
Great video! Very good info and controlled test! Thank you for posting
Just the insight I was seeking as I'm preparing to do a strip and paint job. Thanks for doing this great research.
Glad to see you back. Its been awhile. I was thinking you may have got overwhelmed with the body work and took a big break! But, more likely the holidays and the NC weather during this time of year makes it kind of unpleasant to work on a Z car. Can't wait for whats next.
Just wanted to say I have learned so much from your channel. Thanks
great video, I upgraded from the citrus one to the aircraft one. Huge difference, Thank you for posting this video.
Great thorough video!! Really helpful. I'm actually looking for a stripper for paint on wood, so may not need to go with the most heavy duty, but this is still really informative. Thank you!
Great video bro. I'm getting ready to strip the paint off my 68 SS El Camino and wasn't sure what to use. You saved me a lot of $$ and time finding out what works
Thank you for an excellent comparison test, nice job!
great video great quality tests i kept saying that throughout to myself great job man
Love the Video! I really nade that kind comparison, and the many rounds idea is great! Well done!!
That weird feeling when you're looking for paint stripper for your S30 parts and come across a video with a S30
O_o
IIIII
The citrus strip uses an oil found in orange peels as its active ingredient. Citrus peels contain a solvent/oil, D-limonene that is the active ingredient. It works by causing non crosslinked paints to swell and debond from the surface.
The odor is not added!
Very well done test under consumer conditions. Very clear explanations.
Wow, great video. You’re very concise & well spoken.
Thank you for your hard work and offering great value in this video.
Thanks for the comparison. You did a lot of work, and its helpful to know what to purchase. for reference with the original Lightning Strip and plastic wrap i would have already stripped, prepped and applied two part epoxy primer and been cleaning the paint gun after 2 hours, for a deck lid. of course my generation didn't have or use car seats.
Really nice review, thanks for putting it together!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Excellent video, very informative and eye-opener. Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is just what I needed to see. I needed to strip a car and was able to while I could still get the air craft stripper in the auto parts store with the Methylene Chloride in it. But, right when I got to the bumper cover of my car, all of a sudden I couldn’t find the aircraft stripper anywhere. It was like the ones I bought were the last of it. Then it was back in the stores again but without Methylene Chloride and let me tell you! That stuff DOES NOT WORK PERIOD. Do NOT buy It…. You will be wasting your money. That’s why I’m so thankful for this video so I could actually see what would work. And the future is not looking that bright. I also researched and found out why they took the Methylene Chloride out. It was dummies using it in closed confined space with on ventilation and no PPE.
Correct!! Exactly what happened. They were probably using gallons of it to strip a car in a close garage without ventilation and PPE and have ruined it for everyone else. If you try to work outside where possible and use the correct PPE then im sure thousands of people were absolutely fine. There's no substitute to Dichloromethane tbf.. it s a bad ass stripper!!
Any chance you can do something like this for rust removers
Thanks man. This was a great practical test. Well thought out and executed. Methylene chloride works great and so finding a replacement that actually works. Jasco is it.
I found the same thing with the Jasco stripper that you chose. The Kwik-Strip is made by the same company as Jasco (and possibly the Citristrip) but I found the Jasco to work faster and clean up easier, as well. Thanks for this review it confirmed by findings!
I am looking at the Jasco product page and it says to keep it off of rubber and plastic, but I see you used plastic wrap on top of it. Did you notice if the jasco damaged the plastic wrap or tape? I want to use this on my datsun project but in some areas I may be near trim or wires and need to know how to protect them. Thanks!
Honestly, impressed with the approach. Thanks for the effort. I am restoring myself, a 68 Mustang Fastback, and I'm always looking for tips. I have several layers to strip - in some cases a primer over two coats of paint over primer. Also, I have to strip undercoating, and while I had decided to go with Aircraft, I may also consider dry ice in some places. Have you stripped undercoating? By the way, I subscribed. If you don't mind, I have a couple other questions if you have the chance. I have not yet looked through all your videos for evidence, but how's that Fortress compressor working for you? Is it working with higher CFM air tools, and do you plan to paint the car using it? I noticed you are working with cordless Milwaukee grinders. What's your setup there in terms of batteries (and performance). Nice job on the wooden body supports by the way. I'm considering my own welded body support using steel tube and casters.
So have you used the Jasco paint stripper to start removing the paint from the outside body of your car? I am planning to do just that first to Jasco paint stripper and some paint stripping days to remove more and then a cheap spot and blaster from Harbor freight 😅 like you said in this video I have learned a combination of a few things has been what works best but I’m really curious about the paint stripper if it something I should do first??
Very good video my Brother! this was just what i was looking for. not only did i give it a like, but i subscribed as well, I really want to see how that little 280 turns out! came for the paint stripper, staying for the Datsun!!
I'm really happy that you are taking the correct precaution most people don't take it seriously. It's very bad for your 🫁
Thank you for taking the time to make the video for us ❤️
biggest issue with the methylere chloride replacement products is they flash off too fast to be useful. you end up having to apply them 3-4 times. multistrip and citristrip you can lay them on thick and though they don't work as fast you only have to apply it once and let it sit for a few hours. let them sit overnight and it will take it down to bare metal. They can also be sprayed with an airless pump which should give you some idea's if you are using this for production work
With paint stripper gels containing methylene chloride you're supposed to use a type of paper, similar looking to baking paper to cover over the paint stripper gel, whilst it's clinging to the workpiece.
Thanks for a helpful experiment. I've used Aircraft Remover and Jasco, and I also prefer the Jasco. FYI, I just bought a new can at Lowes last week (May 2022), the price is now over $25 a quart.
How long would u suggest jasco on hardwood floors to remove paint
I can tell you from experience. Get some good industrial squirt bottles and spray the best stripper you have. Spraying it is not only faster but it apply the stripper evenly and you can get a thick coat on. Using a brush thins out the amount you are using. Also, whatever bottles you use for this will be rendered useless after a few fill ups. The stripper will destroy the pump.
yeah I tested this myself awhile ago and I applied one part with a brush and one part just by spraying and yeah using the brush just doesn't work at all.
Thank you for posting this.
Wow Thanks God Bless which is best for old paint stains on Clothes
Thank you for making this video. It was exactly the information i was looking for and you did a phenomenal job hitting every single point. very entertaining too!
this man needs more likes. helped me out
I’m on my fifth coat trying to remove the factory paint on my Yamaha frame with the Jasco. Never again! So what’s safer doing it once with a more dangerous product or doing it 5 times with an inferior product? Thanks, just subscribed!
This is an awesome video. I've tried so many, but always disappointed. Going to strip my alloy bike. This just saved me days of work! THANK YOU!!!
Great video...well done!
The fact paint stripper is non toxic now just leads me to believe it’s all useless
@Chris Bushmaker STFU bot
Yeah, and the fact you couId buy a gaIIon of MethyI ChIoride stripper for $19 bucks; but a gaIIon of water based garbage is $55 bucks...teIIs you one thing; it's costIy to save the pIanet...but it makes the peopIe who don't actuaIIy use the stuff feeI better about themseIves.
That's because it is useless. I mean, compared to the old methylene chloride aircraft stripper all of the "alternatives" are laughable. This is especially obvious when you're trying to strip a truly tough finish.
@@mathos00 I'm doing better now....I scored 10 gaIIons of the "good stuff"
Going to save a lot of time.
It is all useless. Just by methyl chloride online.
Blue Bear GL 600 soy strip. I did 3 layer of paint and primer on a Porsche in a weekend. SLow dry and if you cover it with plastic no dry. Spread easy, doesn't hurt your eyes. No smell. Not cheap but awesome. Made of concentrated soy stripper. Used it for years.
excellent demonstration!
Great comparison test. Thanks
Absolutely excellent video, learnt a lot, helped me a lot.
Very, very helpful! Thank you so much!
Ty so much for great video! Im using on furniture, so I hope it will make my job so much easier 👍
This is an excellent video. Thank you so much!
They all did crap... The old stuff worked wonders and I could strip powdercoat in 5 minutes... Guess i will make my own.
I know but the smell was to HARH
How can I make my own, ur right the old stuff worked wonders the new stuffs like water????
Extremely well done video! I thought your “scientific method” approach to testing was very informative.
Thanks so much for the video it was a giant help.thanks again.
Thank you for the information and your time
Good job man, thank you so much for this upload. I will be getting myself some Jasco asap and get to work stripping some Rims for my wife's car lol
Let me know how that goes man, I haven't tried it on wheels. I imagine it'll be tough though. You might want to just get those media blasted.
I used the aircraft stripper on my rims so I could make them chrome . There was a lil water on the rim and now it’s all caked/crusted on there any tips?
This was beyond useful! I haven’t looked but what are the affect of the Kwik-strip and aircraft remover over a 24 hour period? Great video!
Can't leave it on for 24hrs, soon as it dries out it sets again, have to scape off paint & product B4 it begins to dry. Have to do multicoats scraping inbetween to extend time
Very, very useful. Thank you.
I used Aircraft Remover by Rustoleum and fairly pleased. Removed paint down to the metal and stripped clear coat off aluminum.
I remember the good ol days when would just pour the air craft stripper on let it sit 10 minutes come back and spray it with a water hose and and have a clean shiny rim now it just all sucks
This new stuff seems to work just fine, the paint came off easy..
The 'good ol days' is why we have a f'ked up environment and cancers running rampant. No one gave a sh*t about health or the environment because they were either ignorant, lazy or both. Thank goodness for regulations on chemicals to protect the rest of us from fkn morons 👍
@@markjohnson4643 I appreciate your perspective on the environment, Mark...and I agree. But they've completely removed the effectiveness of the products with nothing on the market to replace them. I would have appreciated an intermediate stage where they could have ensured better compliance, kind of like they do with R134.
@@markjohnson4643 I have used a lot of methyl chloride. It works. It will take the hide off an elephant.
The demonization of this stuff is probably an industry scam. It's too cheap and it works.
You are probably wearing a face diaper to scare off the virus bogeyman.
Good video. I tried jeico on cement floor and loosen up the paint pretty easy. Just do it when there's shade or else it dries quick and won't do its job
Excellent and informative video. Ty
I use the citrus strip for my car rims since I have tires on them & don’t want to damage it Incase I spill some on them. this does the job very well I leave it overnight . since it does take 24hr to do what the quality of the Jasco/Aircraft . Plus the smell is a big plus for since I work in a close area. I guess it depends how fast you want the job done. Thank you for doing this comparison of products 👌🏽
Great work.....Im in the market for some effective stripper for paint on metal. Based on your video outcome, i will get the Jasco Premium paint and epoxy removal for my project. thank you and good luck with your project restoring.
The multi-strip is a 24 hour product. It will strip down to bear metal, it also dissolves body filler.
Wish I watched this before I spent on 3 different strippers. So far I've been using 3 year old KleanStrip Stripper that jellied up but still works 10x better then newer formulas but it's hard to apply in it's gelation state.
Did you follow the directions on how to use product? Cause i know for a fact that citri strip and kwik strip have to be shaken vigorously before use.
Very helpful video. The current prices on the good products are a bit higher in 2022, around $24 for the Jasco or the Aircraft.
Great video. Verdict...no current paint stripper is even CLOSE as effective as the previous versions.
and that's why we have regulations and laws to protect the environment. People always want something fast and easy and they really dont care if it damages the environment or other people. As long as they dont have to use any elbow grease...
@@markjohnson4643 thank you
100%
You’re very forgiving, seeing as how none of these actually did their job
When using the aircraft paint stripper it works better with a brush cut its bristles down to half inch (STIFFER) and dabbed on. Also cover with plastic to keep the gases contained allowing it to work on releasing paint better.
I have one of those Coleman mini bikes you see in stores and I’ve been trying to strip the paint so I can repaint. I’ve tried 3, 6, and 7 letting them all sit for probably 12 hours. None of them made a dent. Idk what I’m doing wrong or what kind of paint is on this bike but damn I’m struggling.
Thank you. It was actually extremely useful; I just hope The new Jasco works on wooden cabinet doors.....
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video
Great video. Thanks!
*Which of these is safest on fiberglass?*
Great video!
Good stuff! Thanks guy!!
