not true, it wont harm Clearcoat, unless it was at one time repainted with some realy crappy clear at one time in its life. like i have said before, many many of the jobs i do at work have one thing or another washed off with Laquer thinners.
I guess I learn something new more often than I expect to. I was going off what my Grandpa passed along to my dad (Grandpa ran a body shop for 20 yrs in SD back in the late 40'* through the late 60'*).

The name "lacquer thinner" is the key there. Back when your grandpa was in a bodyshop they used lacquer paints.

If I remember right, Liquid Glass recommends using laquer thinner to remove it (as if I ever would!!). I too would fall into the "too scared to try it" crowd. I would definitely second the votes for "Goo-Gone" and "Goof-Off" though.
