Body sealer/Tar

[Stomper]

I'm stipping down my crewcab to a bare cab. There is some tar under the rubber door seals plus around the a/c box and I'd like to get it removed.


What works the best chemically? Actually, I think I can get all the sealer around the a/c box by scrapeing but under the door seal is soft and very sticky

Thanks,

Brett

Well, the tar like substance is still wet. It gets on clothes very easily

You could try the old soaked rag trick.. take some paper towels or a rag, soak it in lacquer thinner and lay it on the area.. keep it wet, go back every once in a while and freshen the lacquer thinner..

let it sit there for awhile, like an hr... should cut that to the point that you wipe, scrub it off with thinner on a rag or scrape it off relatively easy...

also after letting thinner sit on the area try using a scuff pad w/thinner on it it will remove the goo faster

anything you do might help but there is no way around it, it will be a pain in the ass and a mess.

A can of ether is good to get the last bit of film off, final cleanup.
