I agree with the man from Portland. Sometimes a little elbow grease goes a long way.

I used Aircraft paint stripper (thats what its called), got a gallon from Kragen Auto for $20. It bubbles it up and you can hose it off. You may have to do it a couple of times to get all the clear off. Wont hurt the finish.

I used something like lacquer thinner or paint thinner on my aluminum tool box. It didn't hurt the aluminum, then I polished with California Customs Purple polish.
