Hi having spent a huge amount of time removing underseal I can sympathise. I ended up with a rag, a brush and a large tin of thinners. Paint the thinners on, give them a few seconds to penetrate the underseal and rub them off with the rag.

It's still time consuming but (in my experience) a lot easier than other methods.

Thinners wise, Buy a large tub of white spirit this will do the trick.

thinners is better, white spirit won't remove certain underseals
