i need to strip this back top a clean , bare , shell.

and after spending about 10 hours stripping a fully enamelled mk1 escort with cellulose thinners, a stanley blade and my heart in my mouth , i fancied doing this one the easy way! acetone free nail polish remover seems to keep coming up as the weapon of choice but after perusing ladies supplies in tescos whilst trying not to look like a 14 year old buying condoms for the first time , it seems to loosen the enamel ok but i was a little "miffed" to find that it seems to soften the plastic more than celly thinners did. any ideas or tips slotters?

Yes, keep the windows open! I use a thing called Décap Four (over cleaner) here in France, but you have to find the traditional version that still has caustic soda in it - the modern, ecological version will not work.

I also just confirmed that it does a great job on old butyrate vac-formed bodies without harming them at all.
