...but these poor facebookers slopped their entire trailer with Kool seal and now want to know how to remove it. Better to just tow covered in tarps IMO.  |

The best way I can think of is take it out in the middle of afresh plowed field then pour five gallons of gasoline over it and then light a match.  wow that looks like a job I would walk away from even in my prime. |

Bill, it's not worth 5 gallons of gas.
What a mess. A hopeless mess.

If it is a decent trailed then the solution would be new skin.

Since you brought it up  We have the silver slop all over our roof and have decided to replace it. However, my door has some brushed across the top, looks like an accidental swipe. I've searched and read the threads that mention Kool Kleen and the only thing I've seen is the mention that diesel may or may not take it off. I'm sort of afraid to try to sand it after my experience of how soft the alum. windows are. If that's the only way, what type of sandpaper do you use? Does anyone have any suggestions or materials to clean my door?  0101171901a by Corvett crzy, on Flickr |

Does anyone have any suggestions or materials to clean my door? I soaked a rag in Lacquer thinner, wet the surface, then rubbed off almost all the faded factory paint. Acetone may work too. |

Gotta love the drywall screws used to keep the metal in under the pittsburg lock. There is a "company" who says they are a "reputable" "dealer" in Utah who is screwing trailers back together with 3 inch deck screws and drywall screws, selling them on Ebay for WAY too much money and only selling to people who are out of state. They take the money up front and offer free delivery. Then they deliver at NIGHT and take off back to Utah. The next morning the customers are going outside to inspect their purchase only to find out they bought a sagging piece of rolling junk that only made it to their location by the skin of it's teeth.

Your door looks great.
On a surface I plan to paint, I soak a 0000 steel wool lacquer thinner to get the paint off.
Paint thinner will work but it has a higher oil residue. So it needs cleaned, then cleaned again, with denatured alcohol or Pre-Wash cleaner before painting. Any oil residue may result in paint coming off. If you aren't painting the camper (polish) you should be fine.
