    Undercoating removal

    I was removing the undercoating on my 1971 I was doing it in stages and trying different products. I was at a supply conference a couple of weeks ago and stopped by a booth for different Green Cleaning Products he gave me samples of this product and told me to try it. i was amazed it melts the 40 year old undercoating right off. You spray it on let it sit and scrap it off with a plastic scrapper. You can then spray it and wipe down with paper towels. I ordered a case it will take a 32oz bottle to do a car if it is really bad it might take two. I will be selling the rest of the case that i don't use.

          A heat gun will make the undercoating very soft, then just use a metal scraper, or putty knife, it will just scrape off with little effort.

            Hey Les,

            It's 8 days later and you still haven't let us know which "green cleaning product" this is?
            Is it going to remain a secret?

              It is not available over the counter, I ordered a case from the manufacturer he is just starting to mass produce it. When I spoke to him earlier this week he was waiting for the raw materials to come in. It seems as if he is a startup company that was at a industry supply show that I attended. I am waiting to receive my first case all I can say is that the sample bottles that he gave me worked excellent it was no effort to remove. It even got on my paint and did no damage.

                  What is the name on the bottle? Can't be that hard to see and tell all.

                    I may try the heat gun idea. I do not want to melt my glass so i will start of very slow.

                      Put some Diesel Fuel in a garden sprayer . Soak the undercoating every couple of days . It will melt right off

                        It does sound to good to be true, but thats technology. In the past I always used lacquer thinner and a scrapper and removed the unwanted undercoating or paint in layers so I would not do any damage to the under body fiberglass. When I finally removed all the coating, I would then clean it with Simple Green and water to nutrelize the lacquer thinner.
