    Nitro mors tends to remove a layer at a time if you are lucky.

    I would use Acetone and cotton balls. It's worked very good for me before.

    Here is a thread that may help, whichever way you choose do a test patch first and don't use anything abrasive to speed the process up. I've also used acetone before.

    Why bring the helmet up again on a separate thread? You were already getting good advice on the first!
