I don't know which brand specifically. All I know is that the can is white/blue with a picture of an airplane on it. I've used this brand to strip my factory wheels as well as my black FMIC twice. I love it!

Im pretty sure any type of paint thinner should do the trick. Chances are it will strip the factory paint also so I am assuming that you will be repainting them.
