Well, I heard it was good to do this if the teflon was flaking, since it would clog up the I/C, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought I would take some pics, in case anyone wanted to see the difference. It is not perfect, but at least it's a lot better than it was.

Here's how they looked before I started:

Here is one rotor with the teflon off:

Here's both with the teflon off:

And finally, here's one after I got done polishing it:

I used paint stripper. I let it sit for a while and scraped it off with a plastic bristle brush. I used REALLY fine wool made for polishing. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but it was worth it.

I used aircraft paint remover and it came off like a piece of cake. And when all said and done it looks like chrome.
