Anodising is only done on aluminium as a protective and decorative finish to stop it oxidising.

Oven cleaner (the kind with lye in it) will take anodizing off aluminum, and if you leave it too long, it will etch it.
It's also a pretty good paint and grease remover for steel, but won't affect it otherwise.

As you've probably gathered, ive been on the hunt for an X-Lite L168, 115mm, ideally silver, for 6 months or more and nothing has turned up.
I picked this up last week from ebay..
I suspect from somebody here
anyhow it's mint! but not exactly what i'm looking for so before i strip the anno and polish it up.. does anyone have a 115mm in similar minty-fresh condition which they would like to swap? ideally in silver or failing that a 135mm version in silver, again in similar condition.
Based in the UK please, i have no interest in selling it...
