Even if you removed it, sand blasting it out of the truck would get a nice result. I bought a 99 dollar sand blaster at Tractor Supply and some of their abrasive made from coal slag (Black Diamond) $7 a bag. It was slow and wouldn't want to do anything larger than a part like the dash, but it worked well enough to clean the surface to be treated and primed. Just a thought......Attachment 1284585
It was also used to clean the inside areas of my door when I patched in the skins The black Diamond abrasive doen't have any silica in it so they claim its not as harmful...used properly
was it a siphon blaster or tank based? I don't want to use my pressure washer/blaster cause it'll put water everywhere
