I've never tried the "Super Clean" - but I can confirm that Simple Green won't cut it for normal factory paint. (I had picked some up to try when replenishing my supply of 91% the last time I ran out) The 91% isopropyl alcohol has worked to strip the finish off of every factory painted item I have ever used it on so far. (Scalextric, Carrera, Testors, Tyco, Johnny Lightening, AutoWorld and Aurora bodies.)
I have only ran into one case where the alcohol didn't strip the paint off of something. That was a very old Pyro / Palmer '49 Ford Tudor model that was painted with some type of brush paint? I am not sure what kind of paint it is - but so far, that is the only instance where the alcohol didn't make short work things. :)
For grins, when the weather gets nicer I think I am going to try oven cleaner on that brush paint - just to see if I can actually get it to come off - but I am going to wait until I can do that outside. ;)
