sounds like he's trying to get the paint off his bumpers and hoping all the thinner will do is help it go faster without causing problems on the repaint... my guess is no if its all cleaned off good

The thinner will eat through plastic..........thats why if you read the directions it will say on metal or wood surface. So NO.....only if you want soft gooey bumper.
