Sunnyside 68532 Hi-Speed Ready-Strip Citrus Paint & Varnish Remover, Quart Trigger Spray

Best paint remover I’ve ever used and I’ve used a lot. I don’t understand how it says it’s frequently returned unless it’s because of the spray. Spraying doesn’t work well. I unscrewed the to and poured in a container. I give this product 5 stars.

Ugh! I totally got sidetracked and forgot to return this item.. it was a waste of money, the pump didn't work, so I took it off to try and use one of my own but the product inside was like custard... I tried to shake it but that didn't work either. I really needed this so I took just a little bit from the bottle on a cloth to try it out and see if I can still somehow make it work.. but it didn't work.. the paint I needed to clean was on a large window I followed the instructions on how to use it but it just stained the window more. Probably because the "liquid" inside the bottle was more like custard and it seemed expired or something. Anyway, I got my window clean some other how and was going to return this for a refund but I was so busy that I lost my chance 😭 I really wish it would have worked.. it would have saved me a lot of time and money. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Works well , I recommend 👌

I purchased this to remove the paint and numbering from a couple vintage steel milk bottle I had purchased. The actual stripper worked very well. It's extremely thick and sticks well to the sides of vertical surfaces. I put it on the stainless steel bottle and left it for a few hours, the paint came right off. I also used it on an older fully painted non-stainless milk jug, that worked well too. In fact, when I realized I hadn't purchased enough to do the second milk bottle, my husband bought some "CitriStrip" from our local home improvement store and that didn't work nearly as well as this, but it didn't make sense to buy more of this until I used that up, I wish I could have. That said - the spray bottle was a mistake. This stuff is super thick, so every time you squirt with the spray bottle, a little bit comes out, then it takes *forever* for the handle to pop back out to spray again. I ended up giving up and just taking the top off and squeezing it onto the surface and spreading it around with my (gloved) finger. I had some disposable nitrile gloves to protect my hands - this stuff will affect the gloves, in that they tear more easily after its been on it, but it doesn't eat through immediately or anything. Note to the manufacturer - this probably wouldn't be an issue if the spray bottle top/tube was sized correctly for the thickness of the fluid. Overall, I would definitely buy this stuff again, but I would just get a half gallon instead of the sprayer. Took 1 star off for the crappy sprayer. Otherwise, a good buy. Note: This review is for "Sunnyside Corporation 68532 Hi-Speed Ready-Strip Citrus Paint & Varnish Remover, Quart Trigger Spray, Assorted", which I purchased in the "Hi-Speed Ready Strip" / "Quart Trigger Spray" style on 4/6/2022.

We bought this to help strip detailed areas from our kitchen cabinets for a refinishing. The product worked a little bit, removing most of the varnish. We used a brushed to remove as instructed in the directions since it was not a flat area. Afterward, there was a sticky mess that needed to be sanded off parts of the cabinets/doors. At this point I can't say if this saved time from hand sanding the detailed parts or not. It was probably the same arm motion and same amount of strokes to remove with a brush as it was to sand. Also, the solution is too thick to spray evenly, so there was a mess that needed to be spread out. Maybe it was a bad sprayer on my bottle, but it doesn't seem like the product is sprayable. In the end, the areas of the cabinets and doors where this was used did not fully stain through and needed extra work anyway. Maybe it should've stayed on longer than an hour. In the end, I feel like I did the same amount of work spreading it out, removing, and sanding away the gunk left behind than if I just sanded with only sand paper.... and wouldn't have spent money on this product.

I needed to strip the top of a large Drexel Heritage dining table. I had to shake and apply the contents onto a rag and then onto the table as the sprayer does not work efficiently but with that being said, I left it on for the 30 minutes and it scraped off pretty easily I was able to do the entire table with relatively no effort, I did go over the area obviously with my sander after I stripped it but this stuff does remove the original finish. I would 100% use this product again.

This product works great. I used it on a patio with a fine type stone as contractors dripped paint on it. I tried many things to removed it without success. I tried this product - Sunnyside Hi-speed with low expectations but it worked great. For me, I applied it twice. 1) apply and let sit for 30+ min, then use a wire brush. Not much was removed in this first phase. 2) apply again and wait 30+ minutes, the paint was removed with the wire brush. Little to no trace of the paint stain left. You cannot spray it out of the bottle. It pumps out, then spread it over the paint or material you want to remove. This did not bother me as the product works.

First of all, the Sprayer didn't work. It dribbled a bit, but didn't spray. So I shook the container as instructed in the directions, then poured some on the side of a varnished desk. Brushed it on. Waited as directed. Didn't work. Turned to a sort of glue that was difficult to scrape off, and certainly could NOT clean it up with water. I should have gone with a proper stripper and done the work outside. I only bought this to avoid the fumes, but even that wasn't true. Very mild but pervasive smell that gave me a headache and made my neighbor decide to go home because it affected her breathing. Very disappointing. Maybe old people shouldn't try refinishing things, eh? Too sensitive? I have done quite a bit of refinishing over the years so not exactly inexperienced. This stuff is not worth the money.
