Default How to remove undercoating from factor?
The dealer I brought my car from put the stuff on the bottom of my car making it look black so my question is how do I remove all of it?

Try wax n grease remover or thinner but try a small hidden spot first,fair warning it's going to make a mess so put on gloves n use plenty of paper towels.

You may have to polish after it's off.

In some cases undercoating will come off with soap and water with a good scrubbing but it depends on what undercoating they used. Try that first cause it's so simple.
