T&T: Acrylic Wax Removal?

[Mike Pedersen]

ARGGGHHH!!!

The previous owner put on Newglass, Poliglow or some equivilant on the hull
and failed to maintain it.  It looks horrible.  I've spent the long weekend
using ammonia, oxalic acid, TSP and rubbing compound looking for the right
stuff.  Anyone know of anything that can remove acrylic coating?  If anyone
else has done this they know the frustration.

I would highly recommend not using any of these acrylic products, in fact
I'd recommend deducting a few thousand off of a purchase price if it is
present on a boat you are considering purchasing.
