That Pepsi car is awesome. Really like it.
Growing up, only my Dad was allowed to drink Pepsi. The kids had to drink Kool-Aid (made with real sugar god forbid!). So, I remember that logo. It was the pinnacle of things I couldn't have! LOL
As for flat surface, save some scraps from your next body cut and use them to test with maybe? Put the goo gone in an extra spray bottle. Just don't leave it upstairs on your wife's vanity. You will be dead meat if you do.

IN MY EXPERIENCE...
Regular Goo Gone that comes in a plastic bottle does NOT affect lexan bodies.
On the other hand...
GOOF OFF that comes in a metal can DOES react negatively with lexan bodies.
I made the mistake of trying to clean off some sticker residue with Goof Off in a window area and it fogged up the lexan.

Goof Off Heavy Duty (plastic bottle) is just some water based cleaner.
Both are great. I have and use both for various things around the home. Goof Off H.D. is sold is a plastic jar of wipes. These are great for cleaning rubber tires, albeit more expensive than the blue towels and goo gone.

I believe that nail polish remover is acetone based so that would make sense. I read once that nail polish remover is one of the leading causes of poisoning in households. They make it in colors and it looks good to little kids I guess. Bad deal there.

Here is a question for the painters in the group. I am wanting to do a matte black paint scheme, but I want to paint the body on the inside. How do I make the finish matte?
(Yes, I know that painting it on the outside will basically do that, but that's not what I want to do)

OK, Snoop-dog...we see how you are now!
I've been searching for the Tamiya 86055 spray to make the outside of the body matte. It's been discontinued and the local Hobby Town doesn't have it. I've found it on Ebay in Europe, but only one place here in the US. Might have to try the Testors stuff. Thanks, Mooby.
