Anyone got any tips on removing the black fluffy tar off the inside of my boot and underside of the roof skin? Cheers,

hot air paint gun and a scraper, then a cloth soaked in petrol / thinners to get the residue off.

With the cost of petrol nowadays it may be cheaper to weld in replacement metal !!!!!
