Heh - just signed up and came across this thread - odd coincidence I started de-anodising a set of gold Araya Aero's on the same day you wrote this up :) Nice guide - would recommend though only using 100% caustic, as oven cleaner can pit the surface of aluminium, which isn't a bother if you're polishing, but if you want em re-anodising can lead to nightmares.......
Also found a handy container to do whole wheels in - in a local 'grow shop' - only cost £7 and will do a rim at a time.

These needed 60 grit, trust me ;) - only went round with a sander twice and I never apply pressure as such... :coolsmiley:
Thanks for the comments folks.. :4_17_5:

nice one Steve, I was always told anything marks that remain after 1200, the buffing process would remove ... going to give your suggestion a whirl, always learning.. :daumenhoch
