I found the floor pan to be the easiest but then again it was at the end of it all so I had lots of practice by then.

The tar gets a "damp" look to it when its warm enough to come off.

Sorry its hard to describe but basically heat it until it starts to look like its not fully cured, if you heat too it actually starts to melt and it becomes too sticky and hard to get off, so just soften it with the hot air gun and it will come off easily.

Also knock the sharp corners off your scrapers they leave all sorts of scratches on your panels until you get your technique down pat.

Scrapers for thick layers and use the wire brushs etc for the thinner spots.

And no dont even ask... I will not be doing it again.
