<VV> paint stripper warning

[Harry Yarnell]

I'm in the doghouse bigtime now. I've ruined our nice new kitchen sink.
I just bought some Cadillac wheel discs off E-bay, and the clear coat was crazed. So I preceeded to remove it with paint stripper. Has worked well before on clear coated cast wheels , so I thought I'd give it a try, but it's getting cool here in Maryland, so, knowing that paint stripper works better warmer, I took everything into the kitchen, and do the deed in the sink. 
Bad idea.
The sink is a bone-color Corian sink. Applying the stripper to the discs with an acid brush worked well,so I allowed any dripage to fall into the sink. Hey, it's water solulable. And rinsed the discs with water and an old toothbrush. The discs were beautiful. 
But after I rinsed out the sink and allowed it to dry, there were these white blotches in the bottom of the sink that looked just like white paint droppings. Carol was pissed! To say the least.
I've heard you can wet sand Corian to remove spotting or burns, but this didn't work. At all.
Now I'm banished to the garage. Things could be worse. :)
