CR list members,

I have a Campy Record pista crank set that really needs to be stripped, polished and, perhaps re-clearcoated (when the weather is warmer). Problem is I haven't found any strippers yet that will affect the Campy clearcoat in the slightest. I've tried Klean-Strip Strip-X Stripper, Klean-Strip Fiberglas Paint Remover, Strypeeze (original style--says it will remove lacquer and other things), and lacquer thinner. None of these have any affect. Does anyone know what will take it off?

Thanks for any advice.
