    Tom...the only way I have been able to do that is to sand with 320/400 wet /dry paper. However , you have to be careful not to sand into the base. If the clear is peeling to the base then you will have to rebase. I always use a good wax/grease remover after sanding and just before painting. You can also wash the paint with soap and water, but I prefer the wax/grease remover...good luck...Jim

    If it's uniformly poor adhesion you can carefully peel it off with a razor blade. Tedious, but if you get in the zone it's done before you know it.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
