Those of you who have done complete restorations might be best able to answer some of my questions.
I was wondering if anyone had experience removing a Ziebart undercoating from a car and how much rust was present under that coating? My floorpan appears very solid and rust free, however, I am aware that on occasions moisture can form between poorly bonded rustproofing and there can be much rust under the undercoating. I assume that cars that were rustproofed at the dealer when they were new might have had a better chance of having betterbonding of their undercoating than cars where the undercoating was applied at a later date when dirt and grease might have made the bonding poor. I am interested in knowing if anyone had a car that had Ziebart rustproofing that turned out to be relatively free of rust when they removed the undercoating? Also out of curiosity, I wondered about anyone who had a Rusty Jones undercoating how their car looked after removing the undercoating? I sure would hate to remove all my uindercoating if it is actuially working and still effective, which appears it is. I appreaciate any discussion on this topic. Chip |

Hmmm, heat works pretty well. Acid dipping works really well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) If you have nice paint or some other reason to not use heat (or acid) you just have to muscle it out. A screwdriver works okay. Wood chisels would be nice. It would take a whole arsenal of tools to get it all. You could always try heating the tool and then poking it to help melt the stuff. I would think a hot wood chisel would make pretty quick work of it. |
