Wire brush drill attachment.

Been using one on my alloy wheels. Seems to work ok and hasn't made any noticable marks in the alloy.

Paint stripper or a heat gun / blow torch.

Where's the chequer plate? I would just take it off :lol: evil stuff it is! Traps moisture behind it so everything rots out.
