Default Two more ways

You can bruch on adhesive remover - you can buy that from home depot by the gallon. Just let it set for a while and scrape it off. Nasty mess.

If you have it on a rotisserie, then I'd suggest renting a power steam cleaner/washer. You can just blast away the undercoating/etc. works really well

Just tried a propane weed burner and plastic paint scrapers. Scraped off like Butter! The scraper eventually lost its edge due to heat so it requires 2 or 3 per wheel well. Finished one well in less than an hour. Best of all the the debris got hard again right away and swept right into a dust pan.

I use an air hammer with a flat edge. Chipped right off.

Got the hard to reach areas with a wire wheel.

After just finishing mine, I'll never not have it blasted off again. It takes to much time and is a total PITA, no matter how you do it yourself.
