I have used the wire wheel when I striped my ute back but I also used paint stripper before hand to make it easier.There are also special paint stripping pads which go onto a 5" grinder which you can get from any good hardware store I found these to work

Best is first to use a chemical stripper- use gloves and in a ventilated area.
Then use a 7" clean and strip disc on a 7" sander. With this method you wont cut into the metal and will leave the surface ready to acid etch for primer.
