I had to use a propane torch to heat it up a bit then it comes off like butter. Then I used paint thinner in a spray bottle ( after and separate from torching ) let it soak then wipe away with lots of disposable towels...the blue or paper ones. It is a lot of work but turns out well. My media blaster said the media won't remove undercoat.

Heat gun and a wood paint stir stick to keep from gouging the metal for 98% of it. Wax/gease remover and a brush to aggitate the remaining residue.
I was looking for another method other than sandblasting. I just finished sandblasting the frame and will never do anything that big again, the mess is just too big.
I did mine with oven cleaner, scraper, torch, wire wheel and power washer.
Mine was on there thick and hard... so I had to use a combination of stuff. What a frickin mess.
I spoke to the shop that was gonna blast my car and they said alot of undercoating is hard to get off since the beads want to bounce off it or just dent it in.... takes alot of time to get it all off. They could do it but it added quite a few hours to the job. So doing it myself probably saved me a couple of hundred bucks....but it was a huge PITA.
