I tried it while removing the various 'do not direct jet stream at bodily
orifices' stickers from my waverunner a few years ago.  I tested it on a
hidden patch of red paint and it quickly turned the rag red, along with
leaving the affected area with a hazy finish.  That was enough of an
indicator for me.  And FWIW, the waverunner did have standard automotive
paint as I discovered when I had to have it repainted.
