    Goo Gone Paint and Coating Removers

    Clean up water-based paint messes without damaging the surface underneath. In addition to wet and dry paint, these cleaners also remove varnish, shellac, and caulk. They cling to vertical surfaces, such as wood baseboards and trim, to easily remove spills and splatter. Use them on floors, brushes, tools, and ladders as well.
    Note: Not for use on painted surfaces or PVC.
