Best product to remove fiberglass is a bigass grinder with 24-36-40 grit. Just go easy on the aluminum.
Someone probably ran a glass seam down the middle to stop it from leaking.
Unless its really flaking off I would be minimally intrusive.

Also raw aluminum is very tricky to paint if you were to completely strip it. unless its peeling I would lightly scuff the old paint and just add a new topcoat.
