I'm sure there is a happy medium and with practice you can do to take off just what you want. I haven't tried it on the brushed on yellow of my tractor, but it worked on the no-prep sprayed on white. I have no idea if it will look better when your done though, it may look all smeary and dull.

I have had the same experience as Bill with mineral spirits. A guy was trying to sell me a 3 digit, but it didn't look right. After rubbing the yellow paint, the other digit was plain to see, but it took all the paint off.
