when i want to remove paint, i usually use this paint stripper called "aircraft remover"
i guess it removes aircrafts... lol but yeh, you spray it on, leave it for like fifteen minutes, and the paint starts to bubble and you basically just wipe it off, exposing the bare metal
huh? you guys are using sandpaper to polish?
why not use steel wool?
plus this stuff... it works wonders! nice and shiny for anything i polish :]
