    ok, in one of my spending bindges I picked up a gallon of Megs Body Solvent, and never have used it. Im too busy using OPTPC. so anyway, what can I use this on? Ive heard of people using it on wheels.... so far its sitting on the shelf.

    any sugestions? I dont hear it being mentioned here often.

    Meg's body solvent is used to remove tar on body panels, and doesn't do that good of a job unless it's fresh tar

    It can be used to wipe down a vehicle's paint before painting, polishing, etc.,

    Originally, body solvents like the industry standard Dupont Y-3919S, Prep-Sol, were used and may still be used in Body Shops, to wipe down a car before it was painted, to get the last of any grease, oil, etc., off the paintwork. It was replaced sometime back by Dupont3900S which is probably close to the same stuff..

    The people at PAC/Classic Motoring say that it has to be on for a long time, like 30-45 seconds, before it should be rubbed off, so that tells me it must not be as strong as the original Dupont product I mentioned above.. If that is the case, then of course, its safer and "greener" to use this, but it just takes longer for it to work.

    They also said it can be used to remove wax, etc., as well as tar, and grime deposits, on I assume lower panels of vehicles, etc...

    It's good stuff, you just need to let it dwell for a bit longer.

    Just because it takes longer to work, doesn't mean it won't work. Probably safer than most alternatives.

    LMAO.... glad I'm not alone. I literally have boxes of products that I thought I was going to use but never did or am very slowly getting around to using them. Kinda sad because I easily spend hundreds on that stuff.
