I've heared of using both dry ice, and heat to make it a shitload easier. But from what I can find, dry ice works much better. Anyone know where I can pick some up locally? I honestly have NO clue where to even start to look for dry ice around here...

I know there is a place on Uni just south of 694. Local market on the east side of the road with a big sign about dry ice.

I thought most convenience stores/gas stations carried it, but I may be wrong.

While dry ice may work better to remove the stuff, heat will be able to be applied faster.

And you should get some gloves. But what will you do in 3 years when you want to convert back to stock?

I dont know if this matters but when i got flooded i pulled all the carpet and the tar stuff had bubbled from sitting in water and came up super easy

That's what happened to my car too. It was damp and came off really easy.

Well, I don't plan on flooding the car... And if I ever go back to stock, I won't worry too much about sound deadening ;)

You could cover it all in wet towels for a night and see if that helps. It would be like a pseudo flood :)

Use some of that keyboard cleaner everybody used back in the day to chill their intercoolers to freeze it.

I use a heavy duty scraper and a hammer to get that stuff off. For the most part with will flake off but there will be a few spots that do not want to come off. A heat gun with help also and then go over everything with paint thinner to remove the residue.
