Hey guys...I sprayed my bedrails a while back with Westley's undercoating spray and I am now ready to remove that, and switch to WADE plastic covers. I was told that Bug and Tar remover would take it off..but it didn't seem to do a damn thing. I also heard gasoline worked...but I havn't tried it yet since A.) I don't like the idea of gas on my paint, and B) that stuff is $$$ these days lol.

any ideas how I can get that stuff off without harming the paint?

 

why not put the covers over the coating?

 

bwahaha welcome to hell.....its harder then **** to get undercoating off and alot of the times you have to resort to sand blasting.....but you could just start scraping...

 

Bah. I have noticed when not even trying my pressure washer (2400 PSI Honda) takes some off...so I think if I shoot it super close it will rip most of it off. It was the remaining little bits I am assuming will be the biggest pain.

As for installing it OVER that stuff...I don't think it would stick worth a crap to the rubber...it uses double sided sticky tape to attach itself. Plus, I want it super tight and sealed so water doesn't get under it and run down the rails after I wash it.

So no one knows of any chemicals to break down even little bits of it? Bah humbug lol

 

Diesel melts asphalt

 

YES...i know this all too well....

diesel will probably melt anything, with the proper amount and scrapeing force....

ugh....bad memories.....

maybe soften it up with diesel/degreaser and then use a heated metal putty knife

 

try brake fluid but it mite remove paint to. try a hand held hair drier on high this is the way you remove factory stickers and tape on pin striping. be careful with power washer it will remove paint.

 

In my experience brake clean likes to take undercoating off. Whenever I did that under a car it would end up on my hands. Give that a shot.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys, lol. I actually got 90% off with the pressure washer, and the rest I turned into goupe (sp?) with the Bug and Tar remover...worked pretty well afterall.

 

good to hear most people dont have that luck
