I see you managed to detampo your El Camino. If I may ask how long did it take you? I started working on mine tonight (I picked up two to detampo and gave up after (mostly) completing only one!

It took me about 45 minutes. It was really very thick, I thought for sure I was going to end up taking off some paint to.

I lost some paint on the sides of the hoodscoop. I don't know how they applied these tampos but they're on there good....

Harlan, use non-acetone nail polish remover. And practice on some junk cars before trying it on cars you want to keep! ;) Acetone nail polish remover will take the paint off, so be careful to make sure it's non-acetone.

The Easter bunny on the hood is kinda cool looking, but that doesn't belong on a car :wacko:
