What’s the best way to strip ano without sanding and polishing? Looking for a way without removing etching on it.

I watched Dylan Kowalski‘s test for Ti anodization color vs voltage. He mentioned that with enough voltage it would turn back to the original color, raw. I’ve never done this myself, so I can’t speak to the validity.

whink rust remove is what I have used → there is no ‘safe’ way to do that - read all the instructions and use very carefully - burns skin off faster than you can feel it
