Underseal removal

[ayr41]

I'm trying to get the underseal off my wife's beetle under the wings it's flaking, does anyone have anyone have any tips to get it off, I have tried petrol, gunk and white spirits but all with limited success. Many thanks Stephen.

You could try a hot air gun or blow torch, but whatever you do it's a horrible job that takes time and a lot of effort

Thanks Chris Had a feeling it was going to be a pig of a job with no easy short cuts

would a new pair of wings/second hand ones be easier?
