Anodized aluminum trim Q's

I've read a bit on refurbing hazy anodized aluminum trim pieces, but I still have a few questions.

Will paint stripper (like Strip-Eze) remove the anodization?

After buffing, will a coat of clear paint keep it shiny?

Anyone used Boeshield T-9? How well does it work and how long does it last?

If none of the above, what worked for you?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so...but easy off oven cleaner will, as well as drain cleaner.

I would consider re-anodized parts as well. People in the R/C hobbies do this all the time. You might look into that.
