To quickly and efficiently remove old paint. Cover liberally with paint stripper and immediately wrap with aluminum cooking foil. The foil stops the solvents evaporating to the air and makes the stripper bite through many layers of paint.
Pressure wash with water, 99% of the old paint will be gone.
 
Brilliant idea. Wish I would have thought of that on the last frame I cleaned up.
 
Foil is so much cheaper than stripper. I fear that plastics may be eaten by the extra stripping power that this method provides.
