Heres What I did.  I couldnt find any of the before cleaner so I 
tried some Citra-Solve  http://www.citra-
solv.com/products/allpurpose.html
We had a 50gal drum of it at work and I was about to get about 
3gallons of it.
I scored the paint with a wire welding brush.   My paint was really 
thick from a bad repaint and the wire brush didnt make contact with 
the plastic.
I soaked them for two days and the paint lifted right off.
I washed them with hot Soapy Dawn detergent and let them dry by a 
transformer at about 120deg.
They came out like new...........
I used a poly coating we use on our pumps that puts a light textured 
finish on the parts and makes them look like brand new ABS peices.
I'll decide later if I want to paint them or leave em black.
But....They turned out great!
Thanks for everyone help!
