Jasco stripper is what I use. It's water soluable so it cleans up fairly easy. Don't let that fool you though, it's nasty stuff. Definitely protect your skin and eyes when using it.

On all the big flat areas I would just sand with an orbital sander, for trickier areas aircraft paint stripper, can usually be found for cheap.
