Is that the brand that only strips certain colours? Of course you could also use a hot-air gun.

Yep. Or sandpaper that should take it off..

How about an angle grinder, off in a flash and then a nice cup of tea while you stand back an admire the results!

Of course a bit of battery acid or brake fluid also works well, or a bit of sand blasting.

Its all good. I used toothpaste and instead of a toothbrush used a wire brush

Both good ideas. Or..or you could paint the car white to match the marks, Dulux gloss should do it..

Would that be with a paint brush or paint roller. A paint brush will give that old fashioned coach painted look, whereas a gloss roller will give a brush free finish.

Neither. Rag rolling all the way..
