Aluma-Hyde II is some tough stuff, it doesnt mind most bore solvents. Well Wipe-Out foam will melt it off like nothing! I mean it will make the paint disappear/vanish. As in no trace of it on the cleaning cloth or anything.

Just a fair warning.

Shit. Thanks for the heads up. I just sprayed my latest concoction with AH II and my favorite cleaning solvent is WipeOut. Luckily it's a 6.5-06 so the barrel life is only going to be about 4 cleanings anyway.

Yeah, thanks for the warning. I was going to try the AHII matte clear over my next paint job.

Do any of you guys have experience with their clear and does it come out pretty flat? Most of the clears I've tried come out more on the satin end of the scale. Really looking for as flat as I can and still be somewhat tough.
