The cockpit trim on a Healey I am working on is pretty ugly.  I need to san=
d it out first so I can polish it. I've found a number of suggestions on th=
e web=2C most of which require heat.  Has anyone found an effective way to =
strip the anodizing without using exotic chemicals and heat.  I have seen s=
ome posts that recommend oven cleaner.  Has anyone used oven cleaner effect=
ively?

I just used sandpaper on an orbital palm sander. Worked just fine. That =
was in the early 90s. It's time to re-sand and polish it as I just left =
it polished and occasionally waxed.
