Trying to take this 50 year old cardboard sound/heat barrier off is harder than I thought. I plan to use some sort of Dynomat Peel & Stick of sorts. How clean do u guys suggest I get this? That bare metal area wasn’t too hard. But that area was already kinda coming off on its own. Now that I am getting to the area that didn’t have issues it’s a bit harder to scrap off. I’m kinda leaning towards leaving whatever wants to stay in place alone. Then slapping my stuff on over it. Or is that a bad idea?

You could also try a heat gun to help soften the adhesive and scrape it off. I can’t see your pic Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I used a cup brush on my Morris Minor to remove the sound deadener. It makes a mess and is real dirty so wear a dust mask and goggles.
I wouldn’t use another Harbor Freight wire brush! The wires come off and become imbedded in your jeans, go through your shirt. I buy a better brand & I know from personal experience. Better brands are worth the extra bucks. Good Luck Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Whenever you use a wire brush or a grinder for that matter, you need to wear proper safety gear including a face shield, leather gloves, long sleeves like a leather welding jacket and a leather apron is good. $50 cup brushes throw wires too. What I like about the cheap brush is that the wires are very fine and don't have as much momentum as heavier wire.
Don't believe that bullshit about the more expensive brushes don't throw the wire strands. They all do. Make sure you wear a face shield . It is not fun pulling wire out of your face. Ask me how I know , it was from a 25 dollar cup brush.
after you clean it save your money. Don't by dynomat. go to Lowe's and but the silver duct wrap. For $40 you can do your whole car. We use it al the time. You'll feel like your in a cooler! Cool in summer and warm in winter. We use vinyl top glue to put on. Give it a try.
My Dynamat has been on the underside of my roof for over 6-years. It has not peeled off, in any way, in any place. I have never seen building supply store products do that. All wire brushes throw wires. The cheap ones just throw more, and faster.
This has been on the underside of my roof for 5 years in 120 degree Phoenix heat no issues at all. Right next to this is the aluminum seam tape get it too about $3 and the little wood roller used for wallpaper seams. Before I applied it I wiped the surface down with Brake-Kleen and painted it with Rustoleum aluminum paint with a brush.
Still not sure how to work this pic thing. Thanks for all the help guys. Here is the end results: I used a paint scraper & slowly chipped away the old stuff until it all came off. I tried a heat gun & it did seem to help. First pic is at the half way point. Once all scraped I cleaned & sprayed it with Rustoleum. Then I used leftover Dynamat from a previous project. Thx again for all the help 65 Riv Build http://forums.aaca.org/topic/228549-my-65-another-build-to-follow/
