Fiberglass Paint Stripper by Klean Strip. He did it in small sections at a time, stripping the paint, cleaning and sanding each spot as he went.

Thanks for getting back on this... I may check it out on mine just to see how it works. With the older strippers if you got one strong enough to really soften up the paint it was usually strong enough to soften the glass too. Some of them required a neutralizer also to stop the stripper.
Yes, as stated here, the key to working with liquid strippers is small areas... soften the paint and remove quickly and then remove the stripper and sand clean the surface. Don't take on too large an area because when the softened paint/stripper drys it usually turns into something as hard as concrete. Another note on this is not using metal putty knives or anything that will nick the surface. I've used the standard bondo spreaders for scraping the paint. And speaking of bondo, I'm not sure of this stripper but most strippers will soak into bondo and soften it, it is a good idea to keep the stripper away for any bondo and if you do get into it, grind out any discolored areas and re-work the body work.
