I think most strippers use an alkaly-type of stripping agent and
yes, it generally is not good for non-ferrous materials including
aluminum. I'm not sure but I think the stripper is similar to the
stuff machine shops use in a hot tank. This will also include the
body caulk or whatever they call that seam sealing material.
Phosphoric acid is also used but not as the primary stripping
agent. It is used to kill the alkaly stripper and to etch the
steel for painting...
At least that's wht I remember... I could be wrong, of course
