Before you start, it’s important to take some safety precautions. Wear gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from chemicals and debris. Also, be sure to work in a well-ventilated area, as some of the chemicals used in underseal removal can be harmful if inhaled.

Apply the underseal remover to the area you want to remove underseal from. Be sure to follow the directions on the product label carefully.
