The tar is up, but there is a residue left that i cant deal with...

Ok, I've tried:

Aircraft stripper
Heat and scraper,
wire wheels, many types,
3m paint stripper wheel
my fingernail
fire
spit
6" 40 grit sanding discs


Seriously though - there is a thin thin film that i can scrape with my fingernail of glue like residue that wont come up. It keeps getting on my wire wheels then smears as a haze accross the nice bare metal. It SUCKS! I cant find anything that removes it.

And what is your truck to removing the seam sealer too? I want to smooth it all down and reseal it.

Thanks guys. The car is nearly a completely stripped rolling tub and i am trying hard to get it fully prepped so my body guy only has to cutout bad metal, weld in new, and get the interior and engine bay painted.
