Couple of question, is it ok to get panels dipped to strip off paint, worried about ally, and residue left in crevasses. Need to repair panels that have had holes drilled in, what best long term solutions.

Not familiar with soda blasting, is this a dip into liquid, or blasted as in shot blasting.

Are you doing something to your Series?

Blasted with baking soda. It doesn't heat up or deform the aluminum like sand blasting does.
There is at least one soda blaster in the UK:
