Well, I got pretty much all of it out of the engine comp. and rear trunk
Took it out using a small wirebrush on an electric drill

Only seamsealer left back there is around the heater tubes (where they come out of the longs)
It's pretty impossible to get to with the wirebrush/drill in that location

Same for the seamsealer in the front trunk (where the gas tank is)
It's tight and hard to reach there

Can I hit it with some nasty chemical? Will paint stripper work on this stuff?
I'm not a fan of paintstripper, but I'm running out of options here...

Any tips are welcome...

cheers,

Jeroen

ps. so far, no rust found under any of the removed seam sealer... knock on wood for what's left...

For tight spots I have used a flat head screw driver like a chisel with great success, (provided you have room to tap it with a hammer) but none of the paint strippers or even the sand blaster would make a dent in the seam sealer.
