If you haven't already, use a heat gun to pull up the tar since you are going for weight reduction. Then, hit it with the degreaser and some elbow grease.

a heat gun sucks really bad for doing that, use dry ice i have done this enough to know if my count is correct i have done 6 cars with the dry ice method

i was thinking about this today, since im goina have spring break up soon ill have free time. just one minor setback. um, wat kinda gloves should i use? haha, yea i figured garden gloves might freeze, and so will rubber gloves if im holding the ice too long. oh right, wats an estimated time this takes, i heard 20hours from someones write up but he took so long to remove the seems also. a good 2-3hours sounds reasonable
