Is there any way to strip the goofy annodized coating everyone insists on putting on Alum. parts? But keep a polished finish? Thanks.

Try soaking the parts in some of the degreasing cleaners like Purple Stuff or Simple Green at full strength. What you are looking for is something with sodium chloride in it. If the concentration is strong enough it will strip it. Then you will have to buff it to get it to shine.

use drano crystals in cold water let soak for about 10 minutes and that nasty stuff is gone. then you can polish to a high shine. i rinse them off with water and scrub a little to get the black crud off with a 3m scotch brite pad then polish and looks awsome. easiest method i ever used being everthing i put together that is the first thing thatcomes off the nasty coloring of anodize i personally like the metal lokk!!!!!!!!!
good luck
