[QUOTE="DOBSONFLY, post: 346634, member: 11090"] Thank you for the kind remarks. I used the scotch brite and CLR combination only on the top rails and areas I did not plan on painting, as I feared the CLR may give me problems later on when painting. Additionally, the painted areas really came off very easily with acetone and rags, it literally wiped off the old original paint after it was let soak for a short time. The majority of this was all done by hand, took roughly 2 gallons of acetone to do the entire exterior. I found using an oscillating electric sander from wal-mart with hand cut scotch brite pads worked well (the latched in to the existing hook and loop style pads on the sander) for finishing up the remaining areas. In general, I felt that using the least abrasive technique is the best possibly solution for preservation/restoration. [/QUOTE]
