Default Removing annodizing?

Does anybody know of an easy way to remove annodizing from parts? I'm using oven cleaner right now, but it's taking forever. I thought about using the wire wheel on my bench grinder but I don't want to have to polish out the wire marks. Any help or previous tricks that worked is appreciated.

It really depends on what the quality of the anodizing you are trying to remove. most of the crap on RC parts is little more than a dye coat being called anodizing. This is the stuff that comes off with oven cleaner. if you have true color anodizing it's a bit tougher and may even require an acid dip to remove. If you are trying to remove hard coat anodizing, good luck.

Keep trying the oven cleaner. I've heard Demon Clean works well. Another thing you could try is polishing the parts with a dremel equiped with a soft buffing pad and some polish.
