Unless the rest of the car is perfect and you are getting a great deal, I would avoid a car with undercoating. I just stripped undercoating off the bottom of my camaro. Yes, you can use solvents and heat to remove it however, it gets into every little corner and crevice. It's a very labor intensive pain in the butt to get everything down to clean metal. It also gets all over the shop. I know I'll never go through that again

Good luck

Mike

For the thick portions, heat gun and scraper to get the thick stuff off. Then, Mr Muscle brand oven cleaner (it is designed to work on a cold oven), and the big, gnarly heavy-duty scotchbrite pads + lotsa elbow grease. Try to let the chemicals do most of the work, tho.

Have plenty of cold beer on hand.

Godspeed.

grinder with a wire brush connected to it. Not sure the actual name, wire wheel?

time consuming, but I have had good luck.
