    Acetone will take off the graffitti with no problem, and 98% will not harm the vehicles paint. (I'm not going to say 100%, because every vehicle is different) Rattle can paint is soft, and the acetone will eat right through it, while the 20yr old automotive paint is rock hard and won't even be phased by it. At least that was the experience with my wagon. Hell, the aircraft stripper even had a tough time with the factory paint. Barely even softened the top coat. Ate right through the woodgrain vinyl, though. Which it was supposed to do. But left on the adhesive. Go figure. That's where the acetone comes in handy.
    You might want to be a little carefull using the acetone on the vinyl woodgrain, though. But, if you use it sparingly, you should be able to get the graffitti off without any harm to the vinyl woodgrain. And, you should have the whole name off in 10 minutes, with minimal scrubbing.
    And as with using any chemicals, make sure you have hand protection, and working in a well ventilated area. Chemicals are your friend, if used properly, but can bite you in the ass if not.

        Yeah, that looks like it woulda hurt a bit too. The rear door(s) would help with the frame/body from bending.

            So is the graffiti off the tailgate yet? It's not on the car in the pic.

            Anyways you're doing a good job of cleaning it up. Just gotta sand the graffiti off the hood and repaint it.

                  Looking a lot better now that the graffiti is off. The thing that bothers me about it now is that exhaust. Just a suggestion, order a Summit Turbo muffler for 20 bucks and stick it on and it'll flow much better. Good luck with it and keep up the good work.

                    Beautiful Wagon mang!

                    She looks alot better now with that graffiti gone. Is she an original Canadian Car? If so how rusty is she?
