some dude from Honda-tech did it by covering the whole floor with dry ice, those crap will freeze/harded, then you smake it to crack and simply peel it all off.

BUT

Looks like youve heard about all the "tricks" now your left with good old elbow grease. Sometimes there is no easy "wipe it up" way. Get in there and own that ----!

if you couldent get it off in one area why would you keep going?
i poured some in it, let it sit for 5 min and then chiseled some pieces out. i figured it would break it as loose as i needed it while i was using my elbow grease. so i then poured the rest of it out all over the car and let it sit so that it could take action. then i tried chiseling some more and basically gave up because it was getting dark and this stuff was obviously not doing what i needed it to do so i went to a coin op pressure washer... where it became puddles of broken down tar, the parts cleaner ----, and water... then i vacuumed it out.

i took advice from the wrong guy when he suggested "chem dip"... that ---- was a waste of my money and time... now i smell like it and my boss is sending me home because it is giving us all burning sensations in our eyes and noses. i work at an isp btw and this ---- is all in my clothes. i'm about to go home and change clothes and ride my ------- schwinn to work. haha! its been 2 days and my car still smells like that ----!

anyway, i bought some floor adhesive remover ---- because that's the best adhesive remover i could find. and it works very effeciently... now i just have to figure a way to get it out of there. i need like a huge ------- contoured squeegy and a ledge to dump all the ---- off of.

this is the car:








and this is the turbo that will be on it in the next couple of months(that is a dsm 450 sitting on top of it)

haha... i could make it look like this again except for the steering wheel and cluster, but i'd prefer to clean it, paint it, and ride it instead.

That camo scheme reminds me of the 3 Eko STIs that were on the cover of Modefied Mag.It looks pretty good.

brake fluid works insanely well. just normal dot 3. but it eats paint, so dont get it on anything you dont wanna repaint. let the brake fluid soak for awhile, then you can pretty much wipe it up.
