[T3] Undercoating Removal

["Andre and Holly" <shackedup@home.com>]

Although this wouldn't be practical on all parts of the car the best way I
found to remove undercoating was to take a propane torch to it.  Now OF
COURSE you should do this outside, and pull your fuel tank and stay away
from any fuel lines.  Use something plastic or wood to scrape it off once
it's hot.  This makes an unholy mess, but it works well.  When you get the
hang of it the stuff comes off in good sized chunks.  When you're done
getting the bulk of it off, use hand cleaner (the stuff you use to get
grease off of yourself before you're allowed back in the house) and a stiff
brush to remove the rest.  Actually, hand cleaner and a brush will remove a
hell of a lot of dirt and grease from all parts of your car.  It's cheaper
and in some cases more effective than engine spray cleaner and it claims to
be biodegradable.
