De-Anodizing parts the SAFE way.

In the past I have used oven cleaner and drain cleaner to de-anodize my RC parts. Both of the methods work well but are TOXIC ans hell and need to be done outside wearing a mask and gloves. After that there was always a mater of how to ckean up after.
A good friend of mine Dominic showed me this trick using Greased Lightning detergent. Its not nearly as toxic, no special masks for the fumes or gloves are needed, and it can be done indoors. It works just as well and is a great way to safely get rid of the anodizing.
Enjoy and I hope it helps.
Thanks for the great tips Dominic!
