Polycell Less Mess Paint Stripper

I purchased this product for the first time a couple of days ago, having used other brand name paint strippers in the past. I thought I'd give this one a try, as Polycell is a popular brand name. I was hugely disappointed and intend taking it back and requesting a full refund. It damaged the wood underneath and left tiny black mould like spotting on the wood. Definitely going back to the Wilko own brand paint stripper which is brilliant, but unfortunately was out of stock on the day. I wish I had checked out the reviews on line before purchasing. Don't waste your money on this product!

I tried this myself on a pine varnished chair what a mess all the other reviews are spot on I have only done one chair (thank god). I think that the Trading Standards need to know about this and that Polycell should compensate us all for the mess and extra work. my chair looks as though it is covered with plaster of paris but will not come off. I think the chair will have to go to the tip.

There is no star rating for a minus score there should be.

What is your company going to do to compensate your customers for their ruined items?

It is amazing people should make and sell such products. it's sheer trouble. I applied it to my garden bench, but could not get it off and had to chop up the bench and take it to the tip. I wish I could take polycell and the company I bought it from to the tip with it!!!! That is where they deserve to be.

This product deserves no stars it is simply THAT bad. I selected it to strip paint from metal. The nearly clay like substance is impossible to apply by brush and sticks to nothing but itself. Out of pure frustration I applied it using bare fingers to "clay" it in place. PolyCell; I want my money back and my fingerprints (removed layres of skin of my fingers)!!!

, Did nothing but leave white powder every where, save your self the hassle never buy this

I bought this product because I didnt have the time to strip my front

door the conventional way.Im truly staggered how bad this stuff is.I now have one almighty task on my hands trying to remove this dried on mess.It has removed literally nothing at all.Fifteen layers of paint!!are they actually serious!!!!!!

DO NOT BUY I WANT MY MONEY BACK POLYCELL COME ROUND MY HOUSE AND CLEAN THIS MESS Up!!!!!

This is the most misnamed product I have ever tried to use. It is not mss free and it does not strip piant. In fact when it has been put on and left as specified it is almost impossible to remove. I eventually managed it with use of a paint scraper and a steam cleaner but still majority of the original paint remained. Please, please do not waste your money on this product.

polycell shame on you for selling such a sub standared product,total and utter rubbish.so mad at being fooled again by a product that is a total waste of money.

I wish I had read these reviews before spending £12 on this product. I used it to strip a radiator and applied it exactly as the instructions said but my radiator finished up in a worse state than when I started! No paint came off at all and it was rock hard, so I went out and bought my old favourite Nitromours which has always worked for me in the past and after applying this I managed to get the Polycell stuff off along with the other paint I originally wanted to take off. All these reviews can't all be wrong. Don't buy this product - it's useless. It just goes to show that even with a reputable name like Polycell it still can't be trusted.

Complete waste of time and money. 'Just brush off with stiff brush'. What a joke! You are left with more mess and plenty of paint to remove either by sanding or hot gun. Avoid at all costs.
