Default Hacking a PCB: How to Remove Coating

Hacking a Park-Zone POS to make it work accurately, I find the PCB has
a relatively thick clear coating.

What's the best way to remove the coating without damaging components?

Thanks!

I've used lacquer thinner with success on the red conformal coating. The
only thing is that it will attack some plastics and wipe the numbers off
of glass diodes.

Cheers
