Stripping Factory Wheels * Aircraft paint remover..opinion?

I am wanting to strip factory wheels on 2008 maxima. From what I have read ppl recommend using "aircraft paint remover".

Can anyone confirm this $hir is the bomb? I cant find it locally but can get 50% more for same price as amazon with a seller on ebay. Ill post the link in so we know we talkin' same stuff..

Wanting to take stock 08 rims to bare aluminum....

Reason I am asking...its almost same shipping to buy one quart as two gallons with this seller.(hopefully he isn't watering it down) and I plan on doing two sets of rims..gonna trust you guys to give me the right direction and I plan on buying at least a couple gallons..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klean-Strip-...1d8793&vxp=mtr

Thanks in advance..

I personally witnessed klean-strips(could be spelled slightly different) aircraft stripper and it worked very well but I would recommend a mask because even breathing it in once can get you not just dizzy but nauseous as hell

EDIT: wow just noticed that is the brand in your link lol so your good to go
