You don't use acid for stripping paint.
You need Methylene Chloride available from http://www.eurochem-northern.com/paintshop_powdercoaters.html
in Goole - now there's handy.
Expect to pay about £2.00 + vat per litre delivered for 25 litres.
I have a dip tank made from an old plastic (ABS?) cold water tank, you cover the top of the liquid with water to stop it evaporating as it is quite volatile.
It will dissolve some plastics, so test your tank before filling it!

I welded some polycarbonate sheet together with it, so it is a solvent for that. My brother stripped a GSXR body kit, the uppers and lowers were fine but the centre bit, which is ABS, went soft and surface bubbled.
You can get Methylene Chloride in 5L from www.polyfibre.co.uk/index.php?sec=prod&prod=85 if you don't want such a large quantity.

Is this product suitable to strip alloy wheels?
I've used it to strip aluminium parts with no problems, certainly left ally in overnight.
Doesn't this contaminate the solution or am I misinterpreting
No, the water doesn't mix, it just floats on top.

And you must use water to cover it, as it evaporates, faster than you can pour it out of the can. I built a large tank to hold 50 gallon about 10yrs ago, filled it up, in the afternoon, came in the next day and the lot had disappeared 
The gaffer was not happy
We had bought it from eurochem in Goole, as they were only 3 units down from us.

A mate who ported heads had a bath to clean heads. It was an old stainless sink from the hospital dump he chucked something like 50 litres of methylene chloride in it, with a few inches of water.
He bought it from a local chemical supply place, they have changed and will only decant 200 litres now.
If your after the best stripper I gather B-17 lifts most coatings, including the epoxy base used on stock wheels. Benflow sell it. And someone told me to try RemoveAll stripper. I bought a can of Paramose from tool station when I ran out of skinstripper, it's crap.
