Clear coating burning edges

I did ask about clearcoating just over a week ago about how long to leave the base coat before clearing.

I said 30 days, and I think I should have waited 30 days. Instead I waited 8 days and then cleared my impreza WRC. I applied twp mist coats and then a wet. I waited 15 mins between for the first mist to dry, and it dryed VERY fast. I then only waited 5 mins for the second mist to dry and then hit it with a heavy wet coat. This is where I then noticed a problem.

The edges are now burning back to the silver basecoat... This impreza is becoming a nightmare..!!

I'm now in two minds to just leave it, as the body will have many decals on it, or drop this is some kinda paint stripper. And to think - I got that final coat down without any dust..!!

In the UK, what is the best to use for taking TS paint off? I've read CSC - castrol super cleaner or something - not seen that around in the UK. Brake fluid perhaps?

Bah..!!
