Eastwood's "Under Gone" remover and cleaner is the best thing I've found, short of using a torch. It looks and works like an oven cleaner spray, but isn't as noxious. Hopefully, you have a way of flipping your car up so you don't have to crawl underneath to scrape the crap off. If not, spread a big tarp or plastic sheet under the car because softened undercoating is impossible to remove from your floor, hair, clothes, etc.

Kerosene will work if you let it soak a few hours. It does stink though. No real shortcuts on undercoat. Elbow grease is still the best...BKH

I have used one of those high intensity heat lamps and a scraper.
Not a job I look forward to again.

I used a B&D heatgun on mine. Worked pretty good. Filled two five gallon cans.

Has anyone tried the Aircraft paint stripper they sell at Pep Boys? I've used it on paint with fantastic success. Brush on a thick coating of the jell, let it sit a while and wipe or scrape. It doesn't smell too bad either.

I used a air die grinder with a soft wire brush attachment,it was not easy but it was extremely effective,speed of grinder was also variable.
