Default Tercoo paint & rust Blaster

Has anyone used this new product yet, seen review on youtube but wanted to hear if it is as good as it says ?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tercoo-Bl...-/150553595720

It appears too good to be true but up to yet have tried 3 different nitromers/paint strippers, heat, wire cup and course grit paper, burnt 1 drill out, skin and a fingernail and still the paint does not want to part from the old girl ... plus donated so much to the swear box i'm considering fitting it with a credit card swipe !
It only has 3 layers, original military green,fire service red and rural fire brigade yellow but after 70yrs its certainly attached..I dont want to sand blast it in situ as too messy and do not want to remove the cab either for blasting, last option as I have got rid of the flaky bits is to skim it with stopper for even surface but ideally would love it to be back to bare metal.

Default Concerns.....

I would be concerned that the wheel would not clean out pitted rust.....if some rust remains it can start over again...... using a chemical converter might solve the problems of small rust pits having removed the bulk with the wheel.

Have you considered blasting with dry ice $$$$$.....leaves no residue but would require a professional set up....... it flexible enough to be used for cleaning up soft alloy Porsche engine parts...... and can be cranked up to clean rust to bare steel. They are now starting to sell smaller DIY unit ......

Thanks Bob,
not seen this ice method before, I am going to have a last go with strippers and a twisted wire cup on the grinder and then look at sandblasting.
