Hi,

I am in the process of taking the underside of my E30 shell back to bare metal. Ready for a complete tidied up rebuild...

What is the best way for getting the undersel of the bottom of the car? For the large areas a wire brush is quite effective, but I have problem with getting into the small corners.

I know an acid dip would be best, but that is a bit pricey. What is the best way to get this stuff off?

Heat Gun + Scraper?
Grid Blaster?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Ingo

Petrol will remove aftermarket shultz type underseals, but won't have any effect on the OE polyurethane stuff.
