What is the quickest and easiest way to remove undercoating from inside the wheel wheels???

I used a heat gun then did a final clean with laq thinner and a 3M pad.

Kerosene works well. I use a spray bottle. Let it work and then scrape with a putty knife or bondo spreader. Repeat as required and then finish off with lacquer thinner.

Gas works better but we're older and wiser now.

There is no quick and easy.

Is it wise to use a heat gun on fiberglass???

I am just finishing up my wheel wells. I used a product called Spray On. It is sprayable paint remover,it works extremely fast using scrapers 2inch body filler spreaders and finishing the cleanup with acetone and rags. My wheel wells came out brand new. You might find it local but I bought it on Ebay 48.00 per case. Wes

Can you give me the item# on ebay so I can look it up. Thanks Tom

Yes you aren't heating the glass up much just enough to make the undercoating soft to be able to scrape it off. If you kept a heat gun in one spot for a long time yes it will but you shouldn't do that. It doesn't take much to make it soft.

Tom, the Ebay item # is 1612448300090 the listing says $60.00 or best offer just like the auction I bought. The guy accepted my buy it now for $48.00 and it is free shipping. Good luck Wes

My mechanic, The Vette Smith recommended I use Easy Off oven cleaner (using gloves and face mask because it is so caustic). Has anyone tried this?

Here's what I wound up doing and it works great.Got Fiberglass paint remover,brushed it on waited a little while then scraped it off,maybe did it total of two or three times,then I brushed it on again and used a scotch brite pad,Then I sprayed Laquer thinner on and used a scotch brite pad again,then wipe off with laquer thinner and shop towels,Looks like new. Did the same for the frame also only other thing I used was a wire wheel attachment to my drill to get to bare metal. Sounds like a lot of work but it's not...

I use this to remove crud, thick material from everything. You need to be careful on fiberglass but it beats using a putty knife.

Hows your back feeling??? lol

Can I get that clutch from you this weekend?

Mr D.

1) heat gun and scraper to remove the heavy stuff
2) Capt Lees paint stripper to remove the rest

Works great and fast.

Stop over I'll be home,Cleaning the engine compartment.

I'm guessing that no one has tried Easy Off Oven Cleaner?

Mr D.

Yes I have and it works ok with green scrub pads. Key step is to get the heavy layer off first with a heat gun than move on to the clean up part of this.
