Stripping alloy frame - latest ways?

I will let you know tomorrow I've just applied some no nonsense paint striped to an alloy frame .I have found it depends mainly on what lacquer that is on there already. Cost £5.00 from screwfix with 1 p going to charity


I used that stuff at the weekend it’s ace - It doesn’t dry up like Nitromores and works a lot longer plus it’s less than half the price

Looks more like PVA glue than stripper
 
Just unwrapped the. frame pressure wash and all good.
I just couldn't resist a quick polish on my bench polisher with 6'' mops on just 10 minutes and the result is below I will also use a 4'' angle grinder with a felt disc which gets into the hard to get places .There are areas that need flatting out due to slight damage but a quick initial polish shows them up.

Re:

I’ve ordered some of this off eBay and it actually has the missing “special” ingredient in it that Nitromors used to have. I know it’s a bit more expensive than the Screwfix stuff but this means I don’t have to go to a store which at the moment is good for me.

Well, I didn't have so much luck stripping my frame but I don't think it fault with product, there was orange and a black with metal flakes, and a few other layers
