How to remove paint from a polyurethane bumper?

Paint thinner, laquer thinner, tar remover will all remove paint with some rubbing, Sand paper will do the trick. A buffer with some wax on it will take paint off once it gets hot. A high power water sprayer (aprox 5 hp) will take the paint off real quick.How to remove paint from a polyurethane bumper?
I use brake cleaner. Spray it on a rag and wipe clean. Then wax the car.How to remove paint from a polyurethane bumper?
They make special stripper for these bumpers but, truthfully, it doesn't really work that well. I've sand blasted them before. This sucks too. If you have a bumper with stress cracks, you're better off just sanding the cracks out with 80 grit on a DA and priming it, blocking it, prime it again, sand with 400 grit or a red scotch brite and paint like normal. www.paintucation.com. They have a great forum.
