After restoring many British Cars both MG and Triumph, the best method I 
have found for removing undercoating has been with a torch by heating up 
the area and scraping off the under coating.
I have tried mineral spirits, heat guns, cold scraping etc, etc but 
nothing works faster than a propane or acetylene torch with some gentle  
scraping to get rid of the goo. 
Just removed the goo from a set of wings from a TR250 this past winter.
Good luck and watch out for fires!!
