Undercoating and Rust inhibitors

Guest

Hi,

I have my engine out of the car and I was contemplating scrapping of the undercoating in the engine bay and repainting it.

How difficult is it to get the undercoating off? Is it worth it? Then I looked under the car and thought that undercoating could be better.

What is the best way to strip this stuff? I found an article on a VW website http://www.vwtrendsweb.com/tech/0401vwt_super/ that talks removing the stuff.

Once you get this stuff off what should you use to treat the area? My brother used a product called Corroless sold by the Eastwood Co. It's used on oilrigs to protect them from corrosion. He had good luck but his car was completely stripped to bare metal with bad panels replace.

As I remove parts I am finding myself removing more parts since I might as well fix it now. I want to have my car back together this decade. Any advice?
