I've had t too Daz, baked enamel I think. I left some with my chromers after I failed with Nitromoors. They left them in for days in their solution and blasted the last fiddly bits off and then polished. Which is a shame to piss about with abrasive methods as the finish underneath is easily sparkled with a bit of autosol when it's just anno removed.
