I used an aircraft stripper and then I used a 4" shaft mounted nylon 80 grit abrasive circular brush that I bought from Harbor Freight item #91371. Put it in my 3/8 drill and went crazy. Of course I used several to get the whole cab done. They also have a 120 grit wheel that I used after the 80 grit.
