ben mate you not thought of just using a sander to blitz the white of if your gonna get it resprayed at some point?
i bet somethin like a 500 grit would be perfect to take the white off without going deep into the China lacquer?

Well all I'm doing ATM the min is lay a cloth on car and pour thinner on cloth (holds it self to side of car etc)
Leave it 5mins, take off cloth and it's all bubbled up.
Then just remove it with credit card type card.
So very easy ATM requires no effort  the tough bits I will sand.
+ this methord there is not White dust flying everwere all over next doors car lol
