This is true. The EZ Off trick worked on some Traxxas parts, notably the nitro Revo chassis. A better/deeper anodizing job may be more difficult to work with.

Just curious here: will this be a shelf-queen? I can't imagine you'll even want to get fingerprints on it after all the work/effort/cost of polishing this thing.
