I can help with the stripping of metals, use nail polish remover. Plastics I use CSC ( AKA Super Clean) and it seems to do great. Not sure if it is available in your country though.
Edit: Ninja'd... also a warning on useing nail polish remover on plastic. The two times I used acetone-free nail polish remover on plastics were to horrific endings. If you got the time using a cotton ball or q-tip dipped in nail polish remover could be a way to get around the problem as you are controlling how much and how long the model is in contact with. The best I could get from nail polish remover was weakend plastic though the paint did come off.
A note: I am sure a quick search on the forum would yield a plethora of threads that can lead you to a great product.
