I was surfing through the older posts on the Barn and saw a similar question asked. I was working on my '30 coupe about a year ago and the glass sediment bowl was orange from old gasoline stains. I removed it and scrubbed it with gas, wd40 and hand cleaner and wasn't amused. I was ready to forget it and happened to look on a shelf nearby and saw an OLD metal quart can with the really small screw on lid like many products came in back in the day and thought I'd try it, as the can said, Paint and Varnish Remover. A small amount on a paper towel and by running it around the inside of the bowl one time the glass looked brand new.
Don't know if the paint stores still sell this product or not, can't recall the name, but it worked great.
It removed the varnish as advertised but I think they may have been talking about that "other" varnish.
