Sorry, I know of no selective stripper. Such a thing would be ineffective if, as Peter suggested, the color coat was failing and providing nothing for the clear coat to adhere to. I much prefer application of only the color coat. Our '72 220D/8 had that and the paint was quite recoverable from oxidation. Sure, cars with clear coat finished are more "shiny", but I would rather trade vanity for practicality.
