Some people mention using a grinder, seems a bit extreme?

Other people mentions a scraper. This sounds like a more suited tool for the job?


Whats the best plan of attack? Spray with GUNK type stuff & then attack with scraper?

Any tips?

It looked a total mess & was annoying me

Saw the pics of Bendys car with it all painted up & thought it looked rather good. Even if its just going to get sealed over again

I've been using a scraper & some gunk. Works OK ish but its not flat to its tricky getting the scraper in

Got an angle grinder somewhere, just need to get a wire brush attatchment then?

yes, i cant belive you used a scraper and gunk though, no wonder its been slow, gunk is a degreaser and not a solvent to remove stuff like the stone chip

gunk will only get you to this stage, to remove it wirebrush will take minutes

circular. Brush one is ok for cleaning up loose rust/paint etc.
