Angle grinder with a twisted wire brush. If you go this route, it will
take
at least two brushes to do the entire car. A drill is much too wimpy to get
the job done. I bought a small angle grinder for $40.
Takes it off lickety split, with no smell or chemicals. Zowie, it works
fast.
Wear coveralls, safety glasses, a facemask, and a hair net or hat. That
undercoating comes off FAST and it flies all over the place. You can't avoid
having some of it hit you in the face so protect your eyes.
If you are patient, the heat gun and scraper works. But it was much too
slow
for me. I tried a propane torch. Much faster but the odor was overpowering.

Subject: [6pack] [6-pack] Undercoat removal
Any recommendations for removing the undercoating from the inner fender
wells? I have a rear clip that I am preparing for replacement of the
current section that has multiple issues. I am using a paint stripping
heat gun to soften the stuff before scraping with a spatula. I also
tried one of the spinning wire paint strippers attached to a drill with
limited success.
