Right i have spent all day stripping the red tar like substance used for sound proofing the floor pans of cars off my nova.

Was a bit tough but its done now, but.....

What is the best way to get the sticky residue off the floor where it has been?

Parrafin cleans off all sorts of crap, needs a bit of rubbing but is quite gentle on the paint underneath. A little extra time is worth everything sometimes.

the sound proofing wouldnt have been compromised - that stuff on tighter than a nuns nickers!

:x

Puddle will be from leaking battery area (or other side) or water gettingin from the holes where wires come in to body (side repeaters etc)

lol i just didnt fancy a bare interior with bits on it looking like a bloody sanatry pad, so i wanted rid. Also a good oppurtunity for a nose underneath.
