Having the final chore of removing 3 layers of paint on my '55, I used a fiberglass safe stripper on the door jambs and dash. The instuctions call for a plastic scraper to remove the sludge, I found a plain old wooden popsicle stick was super for all the intricate curves and corners in those areas. If gloved up properly to avoid burns, the stick also makes a good wide scraper as well. No nicks or scrapes on the glass either. Came off slick.

Re: Chemical paint stripping
Mike, The plastic spreaders for body fillers also work very well. Make sure that you wash the area that was stripped with warm soapy water. I used a stiff bristle brush for this process. I then used Scotch Brite pads soaked in lacquer thinner and then washed the car for a second time.
Good luck
