Default Stripping aluminum wheels to bare

I got a set of enkei 17's with my A4, but they are in pretty rough condition, I am looking to completely strip them down to the bare metal, my father in law works at a place that does oem finishing on aluminum wheels and all i want to do is strip them down to completely bare, I have been reading and getting mixed reviews on 'aircraft stripper' that autozone sells.. I found a video on youtube, but the guy won't give up his secret ingredient. maybe somebody here knows..

Here are the links..

Anyone know what he might be using?? I would love to just dip the rims like that
