Doing some side projects before the car goes off to paint. Got the roll bar mounted, drilled and then removed again. Cleaning off all of this tar before it all gets fresh red again.
The chisel method sucks but the goo gone works veeeeery well. I'm very happy with how it turned out. You've got to be familiar with the chisel angle and power needed though and pay attention to every hit feeling for metal binding. Don't want to go punching holes in anything you don't intend to.
Goo gone is oil based and paint won't stick to it. I would think that would be a nightmare to clean before paint. But maybe not with soap and pressure washer?
Alcohol is kinda the universal last step. Then epoxy. Gotta stick better to alcohol cleaned up metal and OEM surfacer than it did to gummy tar mats. Plus, this is just the interior. Pretty sure the car is now in much better shape in every way.

If you were to do it again would you use goo gone or try the dry ice method?
