Does anyone know a good method of how to strip anodize off aluminum parts. I also want to polish it to a great shine. Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks for the time.

Whoa! An acid bath is a little risky

I've read that oven cleaner and WD40 do a good job too

Oven cleaner is about the same as an acid bath, ether way it is best to do that outside. Those fumes can be bad. I have done the oven cleaner method before, It leaves the parts rough and pitted. I also recommend having water close by to rinse the parts off.
