Strip nickel from a couple of improperly plated aluminum parts

I'm trying to strip nickel from a couple of improperly plated aluminum parts. The local chrome shop dipped it and removed the chrome, but told me to SAND and POLISH off the nickel! I've been able to carefully peel off some but not all of the nickel. Is there a chemical or electrochemical process for removing the nickel plating?

Nickel is pretty easy to remove using 50% nitric acid.
