Re: Undercoating removal
I used a heat gun and a scraper. Lots of work.

Re: Undercoating removal
ZEP Orange Gel Degreaser removed 3 year old asphalt sealer from my basement floor with ease....I wonder if it would have any effect?

Re: Undercoating removal
Eastwood has a special spray on product for that. I have found that their products work well. http://www.eastwood.com/under-gone-u...17-oz-net.html

Re: Undercoating removal
I used a small proprane torch and a putty knife... heat it up a little and scraped it right off.

It's slow but it works better than anything else I tried. You can also use a wire wheel on your angle grinder but it is messy and time consuming. |

Re: Undercoating removal
I never did it myself and maybe someone who did will chime in on this but I think I remember reading posts on here that guys used oven cleaner. Not sure though.

Re: Undercoating removal
I scraped the whole underneath of my Challenger-took 20ish hours. I did not want the mess of a chemical, and up here in the great white north we don't have the selection you 'southerners' do LOL. I used a scraper (hard putty knife) and a heat gun, but mostly the scraper. Hard to reach areas I used a wire wheel on an old drill. It heated the undercoat up from friction and worked real well, but time consuming. I then had the underneath sandblasted. I also used wd40 to soften the thick hard to reach areas. good luck
