Same here, high grade stripper left until dry, did it several times to get most of the clear off. After that I went in while the last bit was still wet and used #0000 steel wool to wipe away any remaining clear. This won't remove any noticeable wood so it's pretty safe. I too used a plastic scraper, but one from the paint supply section, metal would easily gouge the thin veneer. On mine I simply buffed smooth using the #0000 wool then applied a wax to seal so my car is not "correct" per MB originality but I much prefer the shotgun stock appearance of the semi-matte wood trim. I will never have to worry about cracking again, just oil once in a while like a fine piece of furniture.
