Undercoating removal????
I just purchased a 71 Nova 5900 original miles original paint, tires, int. etc anyway this thing has been under coated since new. It's almost like grease, kind of soft. The car was sold new in Ohio. Being accustom to souther cars (no under coat) I don't know what will cut it. So far I've tried gas and kerosine and purple cleaner no luck yet. Any ideas???

with a fire extinguisher nearby!
 Unfortunately, that is one of the best ways.

Re: Undercoating removal????
PLEASE follow Chuck's suggestion. It's the right way to do it. Nothing else works, or is safe for the car or you.
I used a torch MANY years ago on my '62. The flame lit the undercoating and it caught on fire a few times. I blew it out of course and kept going. The next morning I woke up and the entire left side of my body was paralyzed, from my ear to my toe. Had to go to the hospital. Luckily, the feelings came back. The evaporable gases from that stuff are NOT to be breathed. Don't do it!!! Verne
