Most vile thing found.....

[Gregor]

I have found the most vile substance in the world. And the entire floor of my Mustang is caked with it. The PO decided that in order to prevent rust on the floors he would spray in a non drying rust preventive coating. In the few years that I have been in the Mustang hobby I have NEVER had to deal with this stuff. It laughs at acetone, carb spray, wax and grease remover, pre clean and it gums up wire brushes.

It makes the sound deadening removal in late models look like a walk in the park. I have alot of work ahead of me with this stuff. the only thing that works is heat and alot of it. The only problem with this is I am sure the fumes that it give off has to be toxic as hell. So it looks like I am off to buy a resperator any suggestions? Anyone wanna help....:puke

If it's yellow it's probably WK seal out. I'd call them and see what they recommend for removing it

[Voodoo Chick]

Have you tried an acid to remove it yet?

You said "vile", freind of mine left a deer hide freshly dressed
in the trunk of an Impalla. the next summer it was so ripe
it took 3 different attempts to junk it before a guy took it
for free...........dead deer in trunk for 6 months, thats vile.

WHY did he do this???? :stare

Try caustic soda, but don't let it sit on bare metal for long. Or you could spray it liberally with Castrol Super Clean and see if that breaks it up, but again, don't let that sit on bare metal for any length of time. Stuff will eat through aluminum. Another thing would be tar remover.

When you process a deer some places ask if you want the
"cape" back, basicaly a quickly skinned hide with LOTS of
meat/fat on it. He did....and forgot! Its a great story I've
heard 100 times but never gets old. Something about the
first junk guy walking up to car and asking if there was a
dead body in it and leaving.

I would take that Pepsi challange any day of the week.

I tried tar remover, and Super clean after it sat over night, full strength. Didn't even touch it. Same with simple green. I am going to try Oven cleaner next.

Napalm? Hand Grenade? Dynamite? :goof j/k Good luck is about all I can say! I would definitely buy a respirator.

Found the stuff that removes the "undercoating". I ended up using ovencleaner. So now my Mustang smells lemon fresh. So I figured I was out of trouble and could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel when Krama rears its ugly head and gives me a bad valvebody casting. So now I need to find a new valvebody to install my shift kit in.


I am beginning to think I did something REALLY bad in a past life.

[Voodoo Chick]

Lemon-fresh Mustang, LOL! You probably didn't do ANYTHING bad, cars are just mean-spirited, and have wicked souls.....they like to see us suffer!!

[lordairgtar]

Well, I'm glad you found a product that worked. I've used that to remove paint from model cars.
