Sunnyside 68532 Hi-Speed Ready-Strip Citrus Paint & Varnish Remover, Quart Trigger Spray

This product works great. I used it on a patio with a fine type stone as contractors dripped paint on it. I tried many things to removed it without success. I tried this product - Sunnyside Hi-speed with low expectations but it worked great. For me, I applied it twice. 1) apply and let sit for 30+ min, then use a wire brush. Not much was removed in this first phase. 2) apply again and wait 30+ minutes, the paint was removed with the wire brush. Little to no trace of the paint stain left. You cannot spray it out of the bottle. It pumps out, then spread it over the paint or material you want to remove. This did not bother me as the product works.

I needed to strip the top of a large Drexel Heritage dining table. I had to shake and apply the contents onto a rag and then onto the table as the sprayer does not work efficiently but with that being said, I left it on for the 30 minutes and it scraped off pretty easily I was able to do the entire table with relatively no effort, I did go over the area obviously with my sander after I stripped it but this stuff does remove the original finish. I would 100% use this product again.

This stuff sucks. Like sure, it strips the paint, but the spray nozzle is deplorable. It comes out in a gooey stream rather than a wide spray, so it's basically impossible to get decent coverage. Genuinely disappointed in this product.

I was put in charge of finding something to remove black spray-painted graffiti from my boss's office building, so the first thing I tried was this product, due to the positive reviews. As you can see from the photo, it is a variegated brick wall with light brown mortar. We sprayed the product on, and rinsed it with a garden hose. What is left of the graffiti after 5 treatments is shown in the middle of the picture. So, the product works reasonably well, but it takes a lot of time to get all the paint out. On the plus side, there is no damage to the brick or the mortar. I think if we stopped here, many people would be satisfied with the faint "shadow" left, but we will probably hit it again and follow up with a pressure washer to see if we can get the rest out. Overall, it's a decent product for the price, but should only be used for small projects.

We bought this to help strip detailed areas from our kitchen cabinets for a refinishing. The product worked a little bit, removing most of the varnish. We used a brushed to remove as instructed in the directions since it was not a flat area. Afterward, there was a sticky mess that needed to be sanded off parts of the cabinets/doors. At this point I can't say if this saved time from hand sanding the detailed parts or not. It was probably the same arm motion and same amount of strokes to remove with a brush as it was to sand. Also, the solution is too thick to spray evenly, so there was a mess that needed to be spread out. Maybe it was a bad sprayer on my bottle, but it doesn't seem like the product is sprayable. In the end, the areas of the cabinets and doors where this was used did not fully stain through and needed extra work anyway. Maybe it should've stayed on longer than an hour. In the end, I feel like I did the same amount of work spreading it out, removing, and sanding away the gunk left behind than if I just sanded with only sand paper.... and wouldn't have spent money on this product.

wife ran over a paint can on the road and covered the back of the car and bumper. Was dried fully before she realized what happened. Nothing even began to take the paint off until I tried this product. paint almost immediately started dissolving and after an hour of soaking, wiped right off. Had to do a second application because the paint was so think when I wiped the the first coat it was smearing even more, so a second spray and wiped cleaned up perfectly. no damage to any of the car surfaces. Also, she threw a new tan coat into the dryer because it was wet from rain. Well, she had lipstick in the pocket. opened up and basically painted the inside of dryer and the coat with red, all over. This spray took it off the dryer and also sprayed the whole coat, let it soak in, ran it through a was cycle with a few rag towels and the coat is as good as new. We really thought the coast was garbage until I tried this.

This product is amazing and very user friendly. I encountered a pebblestone driveway with a lot of overspray from a major project which had set in for several months. I sprayed the area and let it sit for about 30 minutes then went over it with a pressure washer and the spray paint was completely gone. I did have to pressure wash the entire driveway after so it would match but it looked great afterwards. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have an open-air workspace I use for stripping paints and varnishes and use a respirator, just in case. Having said that, the smell of this product lingered for days even in the open air of my workspace. That might not be so bad if not for the acrid, chemical smell left by the product. It permeated nearly everything around it. I had on gloves and never came into contact with the gel yet my gloves and hands smelled for days of chemicals and oranges. It wasn't a slight smell, either. It was very pronounced and noticeable by others. On the other hand (no pun intended), it worked well enough. You must make sure you thoroughly shake the gel before you use it as mine separated into a nasty, thick oil and a thin milky liquid that wouldn't be affective for its intended use case. If you can manage the smell and don't mind thoroughly shaking the gel for a couple of minutes and do not need the pray bottle functionality, it isn't bad. Especially for the price. For me, I spend a few extra $$ and buy something that works just as well and doesn't smell as offensive and revolting as this does.
