Default Best paint stripper?

ok so im gonna be repainting my wheels again, and last time i did them, it was just a redo of the same color so i only stripped the faces, and used aircraft stripper...overall it sucked and took forever.

is there anything that can do a better full strip since im doing a color change this time?

overall my thought is that aircraft stripper has the same amount of methylene chloride as everything else so it wont matter, but maybe there is a higher grade automotive stripper you guys know of?

Aircraft stripper have been working great for me. Don't use it in hot places because it will dry out quickly, or in direct sun light as well. Did you apply a thick even coat?

yeah it took almost 8 coats just to get the paint off the face of the wheel, this was in 70 degrees in the shade and sitting for 30 minutes or more a coat
