If I want to strip my car to the metal..... what do you recommend?
THIS^ doing a full size truck right now. Does a door in a matter of minutes. Very little mess. No wires to poke you. Fast and no chemical mess.
I have stripped many a part and full cars with these! Theyll strip layers of paint, decals, pinstripes, old bondo, seamseal, everything right down to bare metal!! They work great and even though they look extremely rough/aggressive, they do nothing to the metal underneath! I stock up on these and Harbor Freight tends to have the best prices.. $4.99 per disc. Lowes is about $9. Naturally these mount to a grinder. I prefer the 4 ½ and youll find they go quite far. One disc stripped a fender and a hood.

Ive used paint strippers, sandpapers, flapper discs you name it.. these are by far the best!
For tight spaces . These are great as well! Come in 2 or 3 depending on your disc holder/pad They have course to fine... choose your weapon! http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-5-3-inch-coarse-fiber-disc-set-99978.html
- Strippers are messy, stink, burns your skin, then you have to neutralize and you still have to go back and sand Never again for me!
- Sandpapers are OK.. just not as fast as these. When you bump up your grit, then you sand away metal
- Flapper discs are way to aggressive and youll create grooves into your metal if you dont keep moving.. then you have a lot more work with sanding it all back smooth or filling with bondo!
Good Luck!
