Where to buy anodizing remover?

Any brands of anodizing remover you recommend? I plan on building a tray to put my trim and grill in.

I've used Easy-Off oven cleaner to remove clear anodizing from trim pieces.

I took my 1972 outer grill to a media blaster in Maryland. He used crushed glass I believe and my grill came back GORGEOUS. I'll have to polish it from time to time but I have had in it my living room for nearly two years and it still looks great.

Re: Where to buy anodizing remover?

Most any oven cleaner or drain cleaner should work as long as it is sodium hydroxide. I used the product pictured below on a spare grille. I brushed it on the grille. Then, after a few minutes, I used fine steel wool and rinsed the grill with water. I got the drain cleaner at Home Depot if I recall correctly. I don't think you will need any sort of tray.

I found one that you mix with water is why I talked about building a tray. I tried oven cleaner but am worried about ruining all of my aluminum parts.

Just grab a small tub of lye, mix with water. It works excellent and is very cheap.
