Re: [A/S] White Blotches Remaining
As I understand it, you don't know whether the milky color is due to some
remaining protective coat, or a discoloration/marring of the metal surface
itself.
Do this test: get a simple electrical tester like a cheap digital VOM,
ground one of the test leads to a section of the metal skin nearby the milk
within a section that you know is bare, then touch the other electrode to
the surface in the milky area. If the meter shows a low resistance you know
that both electrodes are touching _bare_ _metal_ and you can forget about
strippers.
If the milky area is bare metal, I would guess that you will have to work
on some polishing technique to get it all the same color. I expect that
polishing ot that _entire_ panel would be required to get the same surface
everywhere on it, but don't know.
