i havent stripped my whole car but i personally used a wire wheel on a grinder. it worked pretty well. wear glasses and ear plugs, plus that **** gets EVERYWHERE. if and when i take on the task of finishing it ill do it outside in the gravel or something where i dont have to clean it up.

PUT EPOXY ON THE WIRE WHEEL, they last longer

I used a heat gun and a scraper to get the bulk of it(dont be perfect). Then I found that Mineral Spirit(you can get it at Home Depot) and a scrub brush will take the remainder off. Then just get a cloth and wipe it down with some more mineral spirit. It didnt harm my paint.
