Check out this site http://autobodystore.com/home.shtml. Alot of good info. I would either plastic media blast if the car is all apart. If not, then I would use the Makita buffer with 40 or 60 grit discs.

More X ray issues later on. We use a combination of scrapers wit rounded edges we have mad and sharp edge plastic scrapper / squeegees.

Frank - I think "Bisquene" is a pancake batter... oh wait!! That's BISQUICK....

Visqueen is the plastic stuff...

I didn't know how it was spelled either but when I googled it - it didn't come up with your version - so a little more searching and I finally got the sheet plastic. Now I'll never forget it!

OK... It was a very, VERY messy job but I think the worst of it is over. I would up using a grinder and a poly stripping pad to get through the 2K primer then used aircraft stripper to get the other layers off. I still have to DA the whole thing but before I do, I have a couple of other hurdles to get over.

Thanks again for your input and please check out my more "generic" thread where I ask more how-to questions.
