Yes but be sure to wear some heavy rubber gloves and eye protection. It burns like hell don't ask:guilty: . I usually lay some duct tape down an inch or so from the edge, It helps to keep it from running into the glass channels. Also don't use it in a attached garage it will gas the entire house for awhile.

you're ok to use it but heed Mikey's warnings. that stuff is MESSY.

I used old newspaper on the ground to catch/collect the goop. you also want to try to do it when there is no wind.
it may take multiple applications depending upon the weather, layers of paint, etc.
It was too much of a PITA for me so I ended up using a D/A sander with 80 grit paper on it. I then wiped down the bare metal and used DP90 black epoxy primer on the bare metal. Worked great.

I use the Aircraft remover on my Camaro also. Yes it burns if it gets on the skin and it doesn't stop until its removed. Even the little dot of it that gets splattered on you will burn. This stuff really works well. The newspaper on the floor is a must as far as clean up is concerned. They have come out with a low odor version of the aircraft remover that makes life a little (lot) easier.
