Got to remove the undercoating on my floor pan. What is the best stuff to use for this? I need something that will remove it with the least amount of work. Thanks.

Is the floor pan in or out of the truck, if it is out, I would think sand blasting would be the best and quickest way.

ATF works well. It will dissolve that stuff pretty good.

Light the rig on fire and wait for it to burn off...

Actually a heat gun and a sharp flexible scraper would prolly be the easiest...still a huge PITA though.

Wurth is a German company that distributes automotive tools and supplies. They have a air tool called a MBX Metal Blaster that uses wire wheel belts and if you use the most aggressive wire belt you can remove all of the tar/undercoat stuff from the entire floor in 2 hours. I did mine that way. The thing works better than anything I have ever seen but it is very expensive. I called the area representitive from Wurth and had him loan me his sample tool to try out. After I was done I just reurned it for a "no charge". You might want to find your area rep because this thing is a real time saver.
Wurth phone number is 1-800-987-8487
