They were quite rippled and I could never flatten them out.
I've recently done another set and started with an orbital sander with a flat pad to get the anodise off. This left them flat and polishing was a doddle.

Old post I know, but Im just going through Buzzers build and making notes.
I use NaOH (drain cleaner) to strip anodising, comes off in 10 mins or so, you do need to keep a careful eye on it, though. I did it for the wheels on the XR before I rebuilt them. Wet and dryed out the worst marks, red scotchbrite and WD40, then a medium vapour blast before re-anodising. Thats what I want to do with any cans I get, but there doesnt seem to be a reasonable way to get the sleeve on and off.
