65 headlight bezel anodize hell

OK, after buying some true "yellow top" EZ-OFF (professional heavy duty grade!) and spraying them down, Im getting some action! I did the first spray for about 20 minutes and the anodizing literally wiped off with my hands under hot water. What was left came off with some 00 steel wool and a little rubbing. Even the black came off inside the bezel. After 00 steel wool and 1200 wet/dry, I hit them again for 15 minutes to get some stubborn patches off. After that, 00 and 1200 again to produce a very uniform AL finish. I have some new buffs for my drill as well as some black, red and white rouge sticks. Im happy with the outcome so far. Bare AL looks a little cloudy in places but that should buff out. I spent about 3 hours on them with sandpaper, Cheesy-Off oven cleaner (no results) and finally 60 grip flapper wheel to get ANY of the anodizing off and that left some scratches on the soft AL, forget that mess! Genuine EZ-OFF is the real deal. Photos progress from start (Bare AL patch next to anodizing) to finish of stripping.
